Samsung is working on a new AI experience for its devices that will help you use your phone without ever accessing the Settings menu.

Samsung can go fuck themselves when i cant change what my phone does I'll just use my fucking steam deck as phone.

Yeah honestly i have previously considered just taping a raspberry pi to a portable touch screen and a powerbank and use that instead of a phone with how shitty phones are getting. Fairphone + Calyx is what stopped me from going down that route tho.

Tbh, im currently using a Pixel, they are... Actually quite good, even without another OS, wich you can install.

I even controlled what it uploads, it doesn't send data when i don't agree to it (living in EU) so im fine with it and a custom launcher (the normal one sucks).

Is Pixel, ironically, the only device with unlocked bootloader and seemingly with most control, i.e. ability to easily install another OS?

Yes, at least from what i know, maybe there is some DIY phones or maybe Nokia pulles some great phone out of their ass somehow, but currently i know only about the Pixels being actually good at what they do.

Correct. Look at CalyxOS and GrapheneOS and what they support.

Okay. Thanks, guys. 🍻

I'll think about it for my next phone when the time comes.
