What phone brand do you like the best? (midwest.social)

*In terms of privacy, customisation, camera quality, and battery time.

For the longest time I have only used either iPhone or Samsung. I plan on switching to Android for the next phone I get, but I find that Samsung phones are often too big for me and put too much energy on camera quality (I don’t take many photos). I have started to look into brands such as Nokia and Motorola, and I would like to know what you guys think of them. Additionally, do you suggest any other phone brands aside from them? My biggest priorities are privacy and long battery time. Bonus if the phone can run LineageOS (I have excluded Graphene as they are only compatible with Pixel phones).

Thank you for any answers. Cheers!

sharing apps

Yeah, unfortunately that's not possible (legally) without being the digital store owner (like Valve for Steam) or the seller of the app. Fortunately, we don't buy apps, so it's not an issue (everything we want to share is a free download, like Netflix or whatever).

But I think the rest should be possible, there just isn't a nice, FOSS ecosystem for it.

Plex

I've never actually used it. I just configured minidlna to stream in my home, so I put my movies and whatnot on my NAS and it's available on my TV. I set up a Samba share for my wife so she can upload/download whatever she wants, and it's working well.
