  • Does anyone here use a Sony Xperia 10 VII? Seems like the only viable option with a headphone jack nowadays besides Motorola and their predatory update policies

    Jump

  • They have improved the update policy. So, newer phones get more updates compared to before. The VII gets 4OS, and 6yrs security updates.

  • Xiaomi 15T review - Price drop makes this Android smartphone the best deal

    Jump

  • Expensive processors, rising storage costs. Everyone had to make some downgrades to accommodate the price.

  • Currently receiving regular security updates.

    Device released in December, 2025

    Security patch updates will be discontinued in December, 2028

    This is from the support page for Motorola G 2026. You can see it will receive security updates until 2028. The page lists android 17 as next OS update but no guarantee for android 18 and 19.

    Note: Page was translated by firefox original page is in german language.

  • Google is adding AirDrop support to Pixel phones

  • I have stopped arguing and just move on.

  • People are hesitant to install apps. But, when you do install it for them. They delete them immediately thinking its useless and and will waste battery for no reason.

    Jump

  • If you use addons like Ublock-origin. You can reduce the fingerprinting. You can also disable 3rd party iframes, disable Javascript which can further reduce the data being sent to websites.

  • I spent two weeks with the Sony Xperia 1 VII, and it's a novelty-laden Android phone that fails to justify its high price tag

    Jump

  • It's the longest lasting battery in a phone in the world. No phone lasts longer without a charge

    You forgot Oneplus 15 with its 7300mah battery. It has nearly twice the endurance of this sony smartphone.

  • My phone's on it's last legs. what do you recommend as a replacement?

    Jump

  • Fairphone is a good recommendation, alongside being repairable and sustainable. If its not present in your region. Look into high end Motorola phones (low-end have bloat).

    IMO, Best would be a oneplus. You can remove any ads and bloatware with Shizuku, Canta. It will be familiar, reliable, and last a long time. Considering, your usage habits.

    (i've seen the horrors of redmi software and want to stay as far away from That as possible).

    Yeah, they start to lag within a year of use. All the redmi phones I have checked have lag issues. If you must buy a xiaomi skip the redmi. Don't know about poco. But, anything not Mi should be avoided. Xiaomi charges a premium for its Mi series for a reason.

  • Looking for a Mi 10t Lite 5g replacement that's not a Pixel please

    Jump

  • Great! I too use Adguard on my phones. But, I suggest a foss DNS filter app to others. Because, not everyone may be comfortable with a paid closed source app.

  • Moto G57 and G57 Power are now official and already on sale - they have a headphone jack

    Jump

  • Well, this is what I see on the german Motorola website. Text translated by firefox translation.

  • A55 is an super midrange smartphone. I have a A22 5G. The software did have bloat but no ads.

    Even if the A55 does include some of that. You can install Shizuku, and Canta to remove any unnecessary apps from the phone itself.

    Another thing you can do is install PersonalDNSFilter from Fdroid or Playstore to block trackers and ads.

  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 proves too hot for the OnePlus 15

    Jump

  • This is a tactic by oneplus and others. Basically, they force the phone to run at near max speeds when running benchmark apps. Mine used to clear all apps when Antutu was launched.

    If they want to check, they can change the package name and see if it does the same or its just popular benchmark apps.

    Plus, there can be other workloads like local image generation, running local LLM to see how it does for extended periods of time.
