other than this, is there a something awful continuity of operations plan? like, if you beef it unexpectedly, are we going to pass time here until the https cert or domain expires and we all need to choose to join reddit or leave the internet?

im also going to say "get an iphone"

if you must get a phone that is not an iphone the pixel is the only thing even remotely worth considering since it wont be packed to bursting with lovely preinstalled apps that cant be removed without a phd in computer science and it will also get updates to fix critical security vulnerabilities for at least 10-15 days after you buy it unlike literally every other android phone

I bought a Nokia 7.1 back in October and it doesn't have any of the problems you mentioned.


Lowtax: Seriously if you don't need a ~flagship~ phone consider a Nokia 7.1, it's fine and doesn't have crapware and AndroidOne means it should get updates for about three years, and is only like $350 instead of $800 or whatever.

You don't have to pay Pixel money to get a decent Android phone that isn't crapped up with bloatware or lovely custom UI garbage from Samsung.

Good luck with your purchase, OP. And I ask that while using it, you be sure to build a healthy backbone of proper smartphone use. "How?", you ask? For one, taking breaks every hour is the foundation to a healthy computer-user lifestyle. And support your eyes and ears by keeping the screen at proper eye level, as well as sitting a decent distance away from the screen. And be sure, with this new phone, not to get too crazy with responding to the on-line twitter trolls who all want to take a crack at you. You may get the tingles when lashing out at them in anger and hate, but doing so merely gives them spine-tingling satisfaction. They only say prepostureous things to get you going. And if you respond, youre merely bending to their will. But if you ignore them, they will eventually wilt under your steadfast demeanor.
Follow these rules, OP, and follow them well, and you will be setting a strong base of healthy computer use for yourself, and doing a great service to the community.

Just get one of the new pixels they're fine

iPhones have been just as garbage as any random Android for years, everyone in the pos just has that embarrassing thing going on where they think their code janitor friends will think they're poor if they buy anything else

The thing with Android is that there are a million lovely phones and whenever you get rid of whatever you buy the new one will look and feel completely different and you'll have to relearn where everything is because basically only Google and a handful of oems don't totally gently caress Android up worse than it already is
