S24:

UI not confusing at all imo, just your typical Samsung Android. And obviously not slow since it’s a flagship phone

No ads

Not really bloated (comes with Samsung’s own apps + Google’s apps but you can uninstall most of them)

Decently fast updates

7 years software support (not only security updates but also 7 years of new Android updates)

Wouldn’t say 4000 mAh 50 MP sounds that fancy, but it works very well (lots of optimisation for the battery and good software for the camera)

Downside: expensive (~600€ new currently)

also Huawei laptops. Jfc what a trashy counterfeit of a MacBook and if you get an AMD one, better also get a good cooling stand. The keyboard is terrible and costs a fuckton to replace and generally the repairability is like with macs, the USB ports are built in a way that just begs for either them or your peripherals to be broken, they might overheat while charging, they ship bloatware and the speakers are ridiculously quiet. My friend’s mom bought her one contrary to my advice to get a second-hand thinkpad or just any other business-line laptop and it she had to return the first shipment because the screen got bent during shipment.

MIUI… don’t even get me fucking started on this garbage. It literally removes numerous features from vanilla android, presumably to relocate some performance budget to the bloat they add.

Yep I’ve seen Huawei and Xiaomi MacBook copies and you only need to take one look at the keyboard to know they’re trashy.

I got a second hand ThinkPad and it’s fast and robust. Designed to last like a proper MacBook.

I can’t wait for LineageOS to be available for my Samsung phone.

Idk if it’ll ever be for mine (Samsung Galaxy A51). Hopefully one day, if such a phone exists, i’ll have a phone that is more open and also supported by something like LineageOS.

Well, I have lineageos on my XM phones (rmx4x and mi11lite5g) and they’re great except for the reliability of the 11 lite. And before you ask about it, yes the mi unlock is terrible, but after you sell your soul to Xiaomi, you can unlock it and have a good enough phone.

I’m still waiting for a viable competitor to the Galaxy Tab S line. Literally no one makes a flagship tablet that can compete with Samsung’s build quality on those, they’re pretty much the only ~11in OLED game in town too.

Mi pad-s exist, which are near flagship, but of course mi unlock and no oled.
