But hey, at least we also get connection issues when compared to cable.

For what it’s worth, fixing safetynet is like a module or two and a couple reboots.

What does it break? I’ve always had a rooted phone and outside of Google pay, have never had anything not work.

Fixing safetynet is just another magisk module (or two, it’s been so long I don’t remember anymore).

I’ve never had a phone that hasn’t been rooted and also have always been able to use every app. Google pay might get pissy occasionally, but every banking app has always worked.

Whatever I can hack and be a god. I have enough stress and challenge at work, I just want to come home and smite.

I’m assuming you mean top vs bottom vs sides? Top is bigger because it has the camera and sensors. Everyone would complain about bezels (and did) of the sides were smaller for zero reason other than being the same size all around.

Until people quit buying them, they’re not going away.

Matter of fact, they probably never will go away anyways because the company gets too much benefit and can scapegoat something else.

Sure makes it easy to get away from gaming though, so maybe it’s not all bad.

Apparently nearly everything I look for in a phone. Others have said IR blaster, side squeeze, notification light, and pop-up front camera, all of which were amazing.

I’d add an unlocked bootloader (I bought it, it’s my phone to do what I want with), removable battery (hello instant charging), and a small form factor (so sick of needing two hands to do anything).

Holy hell, this is still a thing and isn’t out yet? I remember hearing about this years ago.

Man I’m a techie through and through and have been so excited for some true innovation in phones.

But there’s NO way I’m paying close to $2k for a phone. That’s the shittiest cost-benefit ratio I’ve seen in a long time.

Apparently most of my requirements/desires fit this. I require an unlocked bootloader, because I need root to not throw my phone through a window. An amazing camera would be needed as well.

I REALLY, REALLY would like a removable battery, IR blaster, small form function, a headphone jack, and a rear fingerprint reader.
