I've literally watched windows mobile, rim, android , and Apple since they all first started. Did tech support for a lot of these also. And over all these years. I have never seen apps suppressed on Android like Apple does. I have witnessed Apple do this with many apps, not just nostr clients and wallets. They are a lot more strict because it needs to be THERE way. Android is open source. So the doesn't happen. Hence why it's not just Google phones that use android. But LG, Motorola, umidigi, Blu, and the list goes on forever. Open source for the win folks. πŸ†

So android a good option i guess?

100% I'll never switch. Unless someone makes a Linux for mobile. That would be intense.

Alright man! Thanks so much! Need to change phone in the next couple of weeks.

I prefer Samsung. But there is cheaper options on Amazon. Like umidigi and blu. Probably even more now a days. That's the great thing about android it's open source. Any manufacturer can use it.

I have a Samsung tablet and a xiaomi phone both great products

You get a few updates of android as well, which you might not get with

Smaller brands.

They are full of bloatware though

In our house we have Samsung tablet and 2 Samsung phones.

Yeah! Samsung and Xiaomi do have extended support. I have a Redmi note 10 5g, a Midrand device but got two OS upgrade. My LG V60 got 3 upgrade. I guess i will be moving to Pixel series or Samsung Ultra series next. Fingers crossed.

The samsung looks radical!

It's my dream device - The S23 ultraπŸ‘ŒπŸ˜ƒ

Going to preach this hard as some of ya'll hardstuck on Apple like a high-school prep mesmerized by Gucci and Versace πŸ˜…πŸ«‘

Which phone should I buy? Some are suggesting the pixel? Price is not an issue. I want the phone with the LEAST amount of restrictions and most functionality. I am fine with accepting inconveniences for privacy and openness.

I want to destroy my iphone.

Don't destroy it, sell it πŸ˜…πŸ‘Œ

Just read a few articles. I am reading Pixel. And when it comes to bloatware that can also depend on your carrier.

Pixel. They all have one problem or another, but they're definitely the most "free" Android phones.

PinePhone is likely even more free, but I wouldn't trust it as a daily driver

I wouldn't know. I'm a bang for buck guy. So that means Android and Linux..πŸ€”

Thx Luke. πŸ«‚

Amethyst was recently kicked out from APK though. Im interested in what you think of PWA? Can this be the way for censorship-resistant apps?

Pixel with #GrapheneOS for privacy , security, and censorship resistant.
