Ive been using google's services since 2017-2018, now its time to finally depart from that. I just got it in the mail yesterday and I'm already in love with it. So much lighter and easier to carry than my samsung galaxy. Gonna transfer everything over in a sim card, switch to Tmobile and ill be good to go. ๐Ÿ˜

Dang, are you serious? My current phone even though a year older gets way more 4G bands than that when I just use 4G. im looking it over know and that freaking sucks.Good news, I can return the phone, I just got it a couple of days ago. I might just return that and just degoogle my samsung cause this is freaking ridiculous.

What is the fascination with degoogling?

Just get a pixel and install graphene on it. You can choose to install sandboxed Google play or not. You can also install it in a guest profile if you need it for things like banking apps and stuff.

Or just use aurora in your main profile

Your literally doing the same thing with Graphene. Its a degoogled os system (if you choose it to be that way) same with all of these other OS systems available

Plus, not only those phones are not repairable with the lack of an SD card, but long term support for those phones are heavily questionable now since Google is working on locking out Graphene users. Along with that Im not interested in buying one

Then suffer I guess. Phone is for phoning. Get usbc SD card reader?
