No shit, not everyone can shell out money for an iPhone or your typical flagship Android phone, even in the US.
I myself use Google’s Quick Share for this. Falling that, the Send Anywhere app can also work - it’s not the fastest compared to Quick Share, but pretty reliable long as you have decent internet.
Same, I use Windows and I’m not ashamed for it at all.
Since you’re getting downvoted for this I assume I will get the same treatment lol
How is that not a valid metric for choosing a phone? The way I see it, it’s not really any different to choosing a phone for its camera performance or battery life.
There are good mobile games too, and emulation. I have a decent laptop to play games on and I still prefer my phone for gacha titles everyday over Android emulation on PC.
My 5 something years old Fenix 5s still works great with like, a week and a half battery still lol. So yes, it’s just that brands like Garmin don’t advertise as much as Apple’s.
Same, Garmin has made me swear off from owning any modern smartwatches. I mean having to charge every other day is just nuts lmao
Stop it, don’t give Google ideas or they will turn to Android next lol
Knowing Google I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they do remove Play Books and fuck over all the customers, just for that 1% increase in profits lol.
The WF-1000XM4 is fine long as you don’t update the firmware to 2.0.0.
Got mine as a refurbished unit couple months ago, came with 2.0.0 by default and it ended up almost nuking the battery after two months lol. I ended up having to get the battery replaced, plus downgrading to 1.3.3 and it’s been smooth sailing ever since thankfully.
I wouldn’t recommend the C700N if ANC is important, since it’s ANC is quite weak and passable at best compared to the LinkBuds S or WF-1000XM4.
Fairphones have always used Qualcomm SOCs, there’s nothing new here. I don’t understand the fuss here if I’m being honest.
Maybe it’s just me but I’m surprised that Apple isn’t taking more of a stance regarding EU’s new regulation on smartphone batteries, especially considering how greenwashing-loving and anti-repair Apple is.
Yeah that still depends on the instance in which posts came from, imo here on c/Android it’s already a lot less US centric than r/Android was.
Just a r/cars thing. Mostly because of how Nissan relies on subprime lending to sell cars in the US and Reddit likes to makes fun out of it.
It’s mostly just a cars subreddit thing. In big subs like r/cars Nissan cars are a popular target to hate on, because of their tryst with unreliable CVT transmissions in the past plus Nissan’s dependence of subprime lending in the US.
*Why American Teen Hate Android Phones
Also I’m very glad that Lemmy is a lot less US defaultism than Reddit is. It’s pretty tiring having to constantlt hear about Democrats and Republicans, or green bubbles, or Nissan cars bad, you get the point.

Looking back at HMD’s models after 2020 I think this is pretty plausible, with how all their smartphones during this period are likely ODM model - you can tell with how they all use the same Unisoc or MediaTek SoCs.
I mean, only smartphones that are outsourced to Chinese ODMs would ever use these chips, you’ll see this with other brands too.
Perhaps zombie brand mode would also be a suitable term, if not for the recent Skyline and Fusion which feels like genuine efforts from HMD.
