A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Generally, for me it would be Xiaomi and Samsung. Both have decent features at a decent price. I mean, they can run some games without too many problems or open TikTok.

It’s not a power-user device so no, you don’t get all the fancy custom ROMs and such,

most people don't need custom roms, contrary to good free software apps that don't steal your and your friends data through you.

but for doing all the normal phone things, I’ve not had a single issue.

for that, literally a dumb phone is enough, and will last longer than any iphone or android. if android enshittified to the level of iphones, I would refuse to buy anything than a dumb phone, maybe not even that.

literally a dumb phone is enough

Not to:

Browse the web
Check my bank balance
- Tap to Pay
Use most any chat service (including open-source ones)
Take a reasonable picture
Listen to music (Brining another non-streaming player isn’t a reasonable trade off for most anyone)
Remotely manage my home network (admittedly less “normal phone things”)
The list goes on…

While I would love to be a Luddite and say I don’t need a smartphone, there’s just a swath of convenience that you can’t get any other way.
