And an unlockable bootloader.

Decent CPU and RAM.

High rate screen

Unlockable bootloader

SD card

Removable battery.

Such a phone would be an instant buy for me, but nobody wants to make them

What phone are you using which has all those things with a good cpu?

If you call snapdragon 778 a shit cpu and want all those features, you will not be getting a smartphone for a long time. I have used smartphones with half the processing power of 778, and they all work fine. My point being, fairphone 5 is the closest to that ideal smartphone, yet you dismiss it based on SoC alone. Snapdragon 778 is anything but shit.

And that's fine, but I don't want the chip from 5 years ago, I want to chip with modern performance that can do any modern task you can throw at it like driving a high refreshed screen when playing random video games.

Such a phone would be everyone's dream to be honest. πŸŒ πŸ“±

My phone (Moto G8 Play) does have a microSD slot and a headphone jack, while in terms of hardware is the bare minimum nowadays (only having 2GB of RAM).

But at the very least having a Motorola is probably the 2nd best thing when it comes to minimal bloatware.

[–] bioemerl@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

a Motorola

Chinese brand is a no go

Privacy is a whole other topic. πŸ₯²

But i just care that my phone is worth the money i paid for it. πŸ’΅πŸ“±
