I have an ancient Samsung. Its going to die soon. I don't think I can get a pixel here. What are my options, coz I also hate apple?

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.

Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.

Doubling down on Fairphone, however I heard rumors that perhaps a new model will be announced this year, so maybe wait for that (if this is true of course).

You could also just buy a new Samsung but install a different OS on it, but I remember that there are some caveats with bootloader being left unlocked and Knox security getting in the way.

I am in a similar situation with my Samsung dying (even though its S22+, which is not that old) and looking through a ton of variants, didn't reach a conclusion yet though.

I'm trying to think of something more fucked up, but I'm struggling, here.

Don't they know how ugly the common people are. I'm not gonna buy something with an ugly guy in the ad. We ain't all plastic surgery Korean like Samsung home base.

Haven't Samsungs always been trash though? From a software perspective, I mean?

I've never owned one, but I've tried to troubleshoot a few for relatives, and always found their version of Android to be just cunty.

So, how much will they pay me to opt in?

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Never heard of glance. It's an ai shopping tool? I couldn't make sense of it, but I didn't spend much time either.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What??
