I’ve purchased several budget/midrange phones as my daily driver, and the long term performance simply wasn’t worth it based on the things that I do with my phone.

Now, this is based on cheaper phones with specs from several years so this doesn’t hold true anymore.

Agreed, given that the 8 Gen 1 on my S22 resulted in terrible thermal management and battery life.

I have the same theory that I always mention to those who are hesitant to switch devices!

I used to be annoyed about not having my Android devices work like iOS.

Enjoying new tech was a lot better after I started viewing them as different devices instead of pure replacements.

Now reviews just talk about the camera and then 20% of other important features while saying that it’s worth the 200% of a reasonable price tag.

I misread that as imposter, which made sense to me for a moment.

Just when I thought that he can’t do anything dumber than the name change or paid verifications…

It might be checking for specific root-related files on your device.

I prefer the gestures and UI of the stock YouTube app, so having a patched app is the best of both worlds.

I’d strongly advise against getting the Galaxy S22 as its battery life (both Exynos and Snapdragon) isn’t good.
