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.

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

What phone are you using?>

I've got a Galaxy S21

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

It's been my favorite phone so far. Prior to this I was on Virgin Mobile using the budget Galaxy models like the "A" series ones or whatever they were. Overall everything is an upgrade for me with the S21. Least favorite? The way videos are so compressed when sending them through text messages. I end up having to record on snapchat, saving it to my camera roll, then send that. If anyone knows a better way I'm all ears.

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?>

Very rarely. I got this phone when I switched carriers so whenever I get offered an upgrade I guess.

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

Just the phone. Don't own a smart watch and just use JBL earbuds.

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

I don't own much personal tech. Use windows on a laptop but other than that just a Pioneer TV and PS5.
