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.)

Currently using a Z Fold 4. Got it specifically for reading books and manga and I'm LOVING it. The big screen is amazing!

The folds look interesting. I'll keep an eye on their evolution as eventually I might want one. I'm very obsessive about keeping my phone in perfect condition so I'd be afraid to open it as often as I would but maybe if they did made like a book tablet type thing more for long periods of reading and watching stuff... I miss the feeling of holding a book when reading in my tablet. I'd be worried about not having a protective enough case though. My current tablet weighs a few lbs just because I have such a huge case on it lol...

Yeah honestly the only down side with books is the size and weight. I travel a lot and travel light so this is very important to me. For example I can have 50 chapters of manga on my phone whereas you would need a whole suitcase to carry those.

Lol yeah, I don't really go anywhere and I still prefer my phone or tablet over picking up a book out of convenience.
