Phone manufacturers know where you touch your screen the most
Except Apple as it seems. They tend to routinely put essential interactive elements in the top left corner or so, farthest away from my right thumb.
On the other hand, Iphones don’t have sneaky ads hidden in the system, so there’s that…
l think it has been the G54.
App was preinstalled, not removable and obtrusive like hell.
Might well be.
I had a Xiaomi ~5 years ago, whose preinstalled file manager suddenly started displaying ads after a year or so.
We switched to Motorola because of this, as they then still were known for crap- and bloatware-free system.
Has apparently changed recently.
One of the reasons it was easy to convince my gf to get a Fairphone now.
Have already been since at least two years or so, although maybe on a slightly more limited scale.
The lower mid-range Motorola phone of my gf had a hard-to-disable active wallpaper app that displayed nice pictures, but had a prominent field leading directly to online ads when accidentally pressed (which happened a lot).
Also reactivated itself after each OS update.
Enshitification in progress…
Wow, that’s new!
Great to hear!
Result of the recent EU regulotions?
Even the pricing would be ok for me because I just like their designs (and the headphone jack).
But in this price range I would definitly expect a longer term software support.
Only 2-3 years as they delivered in the past is completely unacceptable.
That is true. I just installed Lineage OS on my old G84, hope that it will last me a while.
Has probably been the last decent phones to still feature a headphone jack…
Not an option for my gf though, when her G54 broke.
She now rocks a Fairphone 5 and is quite happy with it. And the next broken screen (that will definitely happen…) we can just replace easily now.
