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.)

Samsung Fold 4. I like it a lot, but it's already been through 2 warranty repairs, and my warranty is up next month. Never before have I regretted not opting for an extended warranty as much as with this phone. These things just break from regular every day usage. After using the phone, I would really miss the screen real estate if I decided to go back to a regular candy bar shaped phone. But seeing as how prone they are to breaking means I think I pretty much have no choice.

Ouch! Yeah, these sorts of posts really put me off folding phones for now. Maybe they'll be less vulnerable to failure in the future, but for now I'll stick with the S series.
