>>105569728 i had four flagship sony, samsung and pixel phones before and they all died in different ways within one year then i moved to iphone and idgaf anymore, just werks forever for real shit i use my computer anyway, a phone is for messaging, calling people and taking pictures
>>105571261 not having google services is a positive, not a negative. google services drain battery like crazy and not having them also means less spyware. if you need access to the play store just install Aurora Store

>>105569437 (OP) Isn't Samsung the standard answer to this question? But if you don't want propaganda, you have to go with something compatible with LineageOS, or GrapheneOS if you don't mind being restricted to Google Pixels.
>>105571253 Isn't Huawei confirmed chunk spyware? If both options are shot, then at least they should be convenient. Google services are more convenient.
>>105571236 they keep making unlocking bootloader harder and harder, now in some regions i think you have to be an active member on some xiaomeme curry forum or something like that
>>105572319 you only need to have an account, at least it was like that when I unlocked my current phone. then they make you wait 2 weeks before you actually can unlock it. it's bullshit but you can just keep using your old phone in the meantime. annoying and unnecessary, but not the end of the world
Sorry you will not find an eDevice in this era that does not cater to their userbase. Make your own and then advertise it here.

>>105569852 I've had a cheap-ish Xiaomi for the past 5 or 6 years, shattered the glass. Before i killed it, the battery was still working perfectly, +2 days on one charging, and had no other issues. Now I've got a Samsung, will see.
>>105572605 I've had my Redmi Note 10 Pro for 4 years. bought it for 300โฌ at the time but you can find it brand new for like half of that nowadays and it's still a pretty good phone. mine still werks just fine and is in very good shape, battery's still in good condition as well the Redmi Note 6 Pro I bought long before that is also still alive, gave it to my mom and she cracked the screen though

>>105572562 they changed the rules this year, apparently you have to pass some fucking quiz and jump thru other hoops lmao
>>105569728 >>105569852 Excuse me? I've been using the Pixel 3 since launch and the battery still lasts 2 days depending on usage. My dad has a similar experience with an xperia.
Maybe don't treat your devices like shit.

>>105572137 No, it's not confirmed "chunk" spyware. It is, in fact, confirmed not to be chunk spyware.
