You can include your phone specific model if you want.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S23, switching from an iPhone 11, because I kinda fear that Apple might turn evil and start banning apps from the app store. I mean I knew about how restrictive iOS was but I kinda just justified it by the increased security that I perceived it to be. But recent events made me realize a corporation can turn from mildly annoying to full-on evil very quickly. With Android, I have the option of avoiding the Google Play Store if they start to do weird things with it. So that’s my story, what about you?

      Cheers! I hope my 4a survives until there’s another one of that size. I feels like most other phones are getting unnecessarily bigger. The camera software is a big plus, too

        For what it is, the camera really is good, huh! I’ve always gravitated to vanilla Android (all the old Nexuses etc) and the 4a was the first phone I didn’t feel any need to root it lol. Couldn’t agree more on the easily handleable size as well…possibly the Pixel 5 would be my only substitute.

        Are you fine with the Battery? I switched from Pixel 4a cause mine was at 15% Just after half of the day.

          It’s been almost 3 years, and a full load will last about 2 days. That said, I only use it intermittently throughout the day, and not for gaming or watching videos. That’s what other devices are for.
