A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Loved my Droid with the slide out keyboard. After that I went to LG and had those for a while I liked being able to easily unlock the bootloader to root, plus the knock code unlock was really nice. Anymore rooting is to much of a pain and custom roms tend to break online banking. With the discount I get on the phones my carrier provides I've been using Samsung because of the software update policy.
If someone was to have something similar to the S26 Ultra with a slide out keyboard and similar specs and support for around 650 I would switch.
Even when I had a physical audio jack I used Bluetooth so not a huge deal to me and hasn't been for years. MicroSD card support would be nice but I've got like 200GB of storage available and when I was in Mexico I transferred video to my 4TB hdd anyway. Not to mention that I could have just left the video on the MicroSD in my camera if I had one large enough but the cost wasn't worth it.
For the junk software I just remove it via adb or Canta with Shizuku. I don't use windows or Microsoft services so those things just go away.
I don't really have any brand loyalty.
