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.)

Being very affordable was what brought me to OnePlus. Getting a 64GB phone for $350 in 2015 was HUGE. Now, they're just as expensive as everyone else. I liked OP for the lack of bloat ware and near stock Android experience. I'm using Nova Launcher because I went to having a single home screen in 2014 and haven't looked back.

And I just started using Mint after jumping off Ubuntu for the last ten years. Cinnamon has definitely been an adjustment for me. But so was Gnome after using Unity for so long
