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.)

How do you turn off the 120hz. I only notice it when comparing. In fact I don't even need it like you said

Hmm not sure if it's the same for you but this is where it is for me. Search smoothness in setting and select the motion smoothness option.

I'm using Standard cause I'm always on battery saver mode, so I get longer battery of course. maybe it is on 60hz after all

Yeah and really, not noticeable. It's nice to have the option but I've never kept 120 on for very long. I could make my battery last regardless but I have a lot of idle time when working and use my phone a lot lol...

I'm happy with my choice of android after 2 years with an iPhone. i actually came over to android when my iPhone broke cause i wanted to install rif and use it all the time. now this happened with reddit. oh well there is jerobe and the desktop Ui. at least for now since everything is still new.
