I have a POCO X3, I had my dad buying for me cause I could not leave the house and my old phone died. It was a surprise. Good phone all around, great camera. After some hours I've noted there's ADs everywhere. Uninstallable apps. Now, after a year is passed, the camera freezes in the middle of the recording of a long video. I honestly did not have time to root the phone and fix the ads and apps issue and I'm just now learning about this GitHub repo with the debloat tools. I was a Samsung Galaxy user and now I'm a Xiaomi user, but after this phone I'll look somewhere else. I've been trying to put my hands on a Linux phone, which I'll probably do in the next few months.

- atum47 5y agoDo you remember Samsung Galaxy 2? It was the perfect phone. It all went down hill for Samsung after that. I had a Xiaomi mia1 that was great also. Those companies are capable of launching great products, and after they get the user they try to shove any kind of crap down their throats. When that happens I just leave. It does not mean that I could not give other companies a try.
- tedk-42 5y agoI do. Galaxy S2 it was called. I had one that was passed onto me. It had a thin plastic removable back panel so you could swap out the battery. I loved the form factor and the feel. My point was more around the fact that you stated you want a phone to just work, then proceed to talk about how a linux phone might be good for you. Apple is good at making consumer friendly devices. Linux phones are for hardcore tinkerers that like to hack things together and learn about stuff (compromise on the 'just work' bit).
