What brand is your current smartphone?

 

[3WA]

Are we finally collecting data so we can purge those ones?

 

[Hemi300c]

Samsung but not for long and NO! @epah it won't be a iPhone or 320D

 

[Brian_G]

Other - none

 

[saor]

We can just call them phones.

 

[Ninja'd]

Xiaomi (pronounced show-me)

 

[R4ziel]

Samsung S24 Ultra here

 

[Ninja'd]

Other - none

What do you do in the toilet?

 

[R4ziel]

What do you do in the toilet?

Probably read the back of the air freshener bottles

 

[Brian_G]

What do you do in the toilet?

Poop


Actually there are some theories that claim we would get more out of our natural activities if we concentrated more on them...

[Cius]

The wife's Samsung is dying after a year and a half. Battery no longer lasts a day and just slow in general. Do not miss Samsung's in general. Switched to Honor for my last upgrade and more than happy. Provided Trump does not do it it the same as he did to Huawei I will be sticking with it for a bit.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Samsung S21 FE, but had plenty of others before,

weird Chinese ones nobody has heard of, (innjoo)
well known alternates (oneplus) and ones I wish would make a comeback (wileyfox)

If I had to buy another would buy Fairphone, or nothing next.
also quite keen to try a pixel, even if I managed to load pixel experience ROM on a few phones already

 

[Prawnapple]

SS Galaxy A34

iPhone 14

You mean the copy code button in the notification? Depends

Does YouTube music have high res lossless yet and any native apps?

Does it have that on ios?

Does Gmail have aliases / hide my email yet?
Does sign in with Google have an email relay service yet?
Does Google drive have E2EE encryption yet?

Google drive is, privacy issues are docs and photos. Drive piracy detection works via file hash rather than knowing the content.

Do you still need your phone to access 2fa codes from Google authenticator?

Samsung phone link you can remote access phone from the desktop afaik. The rest is Gmail/drive, not android.

Does Android phones get updates for 7 years yet?

Yes, Pixel, Samsung flagship line. Actual promise for it, ios is just you hope. UK forced a 5 year promise at least.

Do you still need to check 3 places to update the phone? (Settings > software update, settings > about phone > version number > Google play system updates and the Google play store

Technically yes, but two of those pop up, do agree play store one should also ask to restart phone. If any of the other two cause a restart, play store one also applies. Also don't think this is really an issue tbh.

Does Android phones still take a minute to boot up?

Maybe? I don't start up my phone outside of updates that happen overnight. I remember ios being way slower though.

Can you sync Google passwords and bookmarks with MS Edge/Vivaldi yet?

Odd one, can you sync them on ios? You can use edge on android and have it use its password manager, that will sync. Or use chrome on pc and have sync there.

Or be smarter and use a password manager.

Does Google Docs on Android have the same features as the web version yet?

Does the ios one?

Can the Google nest work with Apple Music yet outside America? (My HomePod mini works with YouTube music here)

So just use the home pod mini still?

Does Chrome for Android have extension support yet?

Then use Firefox on Android?

Does Android have any AAA games yet?

Like fortnite and cod? What do you mean yet?

Does Android have automation built in yet like Siri Shortcuts?

Before ios has had, yes. Bixby has its routines, so does Google assistant.

Does Google play services still rape your battery for no reason?

Never had that, you do know stuff like mobile network signal being bad counts to that?

Do you still need to install Google Lens to copy text from the camera or photos?

I've never not had it pre-installed, and there's a button in photos to jump to that. Don't see the issue.

Is the Google finance app still dead and you need to download a third party app or use the subpar PWA?

How is this different to ios? And what's the issue?

Is the Android weather app still a PWA app or is it something proper like on iOS?

It's like a normal weather app...
Tbh I find the overview better than ios one but that's subjective.

Does Android TV devices have profiles yet?

How is this relevant?

Can you bulk export Google authenticator secret keys yet or do you have to disable and enable it for every site one by one?

Then use Microsoft authenticator or any other one?

If you accidentally delete an SMS can you get it back or is it gone forever still?

Couple of years afaik, there's a recently deleted restore option under edit, but I don't know anyone who uses sms.

You still need a third party launcher to remove the Google search bar?

No? Since when did you need a third party one?

Can you share app purchases with Windows yet?

That's a developer thing...

Does going out of an app still take you to the Home Screen or the place you were when you opened the app (App Library etc.) like iOS?

For ios, that's still the home screen technically as they don't have app drawers. It takes you to the home screen you were on, so same behavior except folders closed I think (haven't tested folders as I have an app drawer...).

Can you stream audio from any app yet like airplay 2?

I can cast my audio to my nest speaker.

You still need to install a different app to have reading mode in chrome on android?

Does it matter? Built into Firefox on Android.

Are they still fixing widgets or is it as good as on the iPhone now?

It's always been better on android.

I could go on and on.

And seems near all of them are false or about a Google specific app instead of using an alternative.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

Xiaomi, since August 2022 and still going strong.

 

[Smiggles]

nd seems near all of them are false

Lol ah yes I used ChatGPT to generate them. I've been accused of that before don't worry I'm used to it.

or about a Google specific app instead of using an alternative.

Yes I'm comparing the OOBE experience of both. You can also make Huawei's HarmonyOS work by installing 100 third-party apps.

nokia, but not 3310

 

[Creag]

Nokia. About 3 - 3.5 years and still happy with it. Will not consider any other makes if I have to replace this one.
