yet another useless
featureannoyanceAndroid already blocks sideloading by default at an operating system level.
Which is a sensible choice security-wise.
it is, the useless annoyance is what Samsung is introducing
no. the notion that sideloading is bad for security is apple propaganda
Is it? Android already disables sideloading by default, requires each source to ask for permission, and prompts the user before each install. How does Samsung’s additional setting improve security?
Apple should take this approach
Not really
You can disable it by default

You can see the instructions to disable it in the screenshot of the thumbnail.
This article is pointless.
Came here to say exactly this. Dumb rage bait.
It is also only enabled by default on new phones and during OOBE setup there’s a toggle for this.
- Return the Samsung phone
- Buy from a company that isn’t hostile towards its customers

Idk, Fairphone served me well
Unfortunately it’s not available around the globe
1.) Don’t buy a Samsung phone
My last Samsung phone was the Galaxy S1
What are some of the best alternatives? With comparable specs (in the US)?
Right now I have a Fold and honestly really like the foldables. Though I think the Pixel Fold is my only alternative there.
I think the Pixel Fold might be the best option for a foldable phone, because (just like all other Pixels) you can flash it with a private, secure, open-source ROM like GrapheneOS.
If you mean the S24, the equivalent from Sony would be the Xperia 5 V. Has audio jack and sd card compared to the S24, Sony batteries last 2 days even after several years of use thanks to excellent optimization and battery care, there’s almost zero bloat. On the downside it will only get 2 years of upgrades (until the end of 2025). Also you can’t unlock the bootloader on US models if that’s something you care about.
