it's android, so it's fully compatible

ah i see, does it not integrate with google play services by default or something?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 8 hours ago

It does, the international version comes with google play and the store and everything, it's a typical android phone like what you get from motorola or samsung, with a custom UI and lots of bloatware

oh, okay, thanks - wonder why that other guy acted like it was some kind of gotcha when he replied

Probably a "Notes" xiaomi (or cheaper even), cheap and with publicity. I have the "flagship killer" (whatever that means) and there is 1 publicity in the file manager. I use FX so I don't care personally.

If you tinker a minimum (like installing an app) it's extremely well worth the money compared to samsung or worse, apple. IMO.

i dont think we are talking about like, phone performance so much as the level of evil associated with the corporation provided by the platform, i use grapheneOS which is degoogled android because google is super evil, and apple is evil too, but they're a minor evil by comparison to google

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

Don't you have to buy a phone from google to use graphene though?

you need a pixel for the time being, but that'll be changing soon. i got a second hand pixel that was two versions older than the latest to mitigate that as much as possible
