I got a OnePlus 6 this year and it's the best-spec'd phone I've owned; I chose it specifically for having 8GB of RAM. I barely use the thing most days and the most fun I've had with it so far was flashing LOS to it :p Doom-scrolling and other time-wasting stuff is far more efficient from a PC, and I don't know how people use phones for hours to do that. Typing is also worse even with swipe! I should try to go without a PC for a bit since I doubt I'd be able to waste time to the same extent from a phone :p

> I don't know how people use phones for hours to do that I assume you stay off Reddit and Instagram on your phone then? I personally find mobile to be the biggest time sink for me on the low-brain-energy social media (memes and short-form videos, really) consumption front.

I've never understood the appeal of smartphones: the tiny screen and lack of physical keyboard/mouse is just annoying to me. Maybe I'm addicted to my laptop, but I'm certainly not addicted to my phone. It's a useful gadget to carry around if I need to check a map, snap a photo, or make a phone call, but otherwise I don't use it much. I guess a smartphone is better than nothing, if it's your only computing device, but what a subpar experience!
