RULES

While this is s community focused on Android, some of us have devices from the Android, Apple, Windows and Linux worlds, etc. We may prefer Android, but overzealous and obsessive adherence to Android as some sort of infallible platform won't be tolerated long here.

That said, being critical of brands is fine. Android is frustrating in some ways, just like iOS and so forth. Let's be upfront about that.

Be thoughtful and helpful, even with 'stupid' questions. Otherwise, as ya mama said, say nothing at all. The world won't be made better or worse by snarky dudes schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

So, I thought I'd kick things off here with some community building.

Quote this post with answers to the below!

What phone are you using?

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

Lg v40 thinq

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Mostly happy with it. Rooting and modding scene is pretty active so I can keep it up to date with modern android versions. It's getting old so the battery isn't the best but it has served me well.

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

I don't upgrade often. I think my last phone was a pixel 1. I liked that one for the mod scene. Seems it's getting harder and harder to root phones or install custom roms.

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Nope. Nothing like that. Girlfriend has an Android tv. She told me I couldn't "fix" it though so no tinkering.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

Nah. Never used apple. Their reputation for being too locked down has kept me away. That and their pricetag. The status symbol culture around apple is also kinda gross to me.
