I really like the idea of of a flip smartphone, but I’m too careless with my phone to have a plastic screen instead of a glass one

I have an S10, I will stop using Samsung phones after this one. My phone heats up by itself in my pocket and drains my battery by 20% in a matter of minutes no matter how optimised my phone is. The curved screen is a nightmare with screen protectors and they’ve stopped with headphone jacks and sd cards in later models.

They are also as anti right to repair as Apple is although they don’t have the hardware locked in atleast.

The camera resolution even with 12MP is very good but Samsung always oversaturates pictures by a massive amount so that grass looks like vomit. Raw images is the only way around that. And the camera app has weird limitations like no pro mode with the UW and tele lenses and third party apps can only use 1080p60 on exynos chips.
I’m just done with them

My phone is unlocked, it’s difficult to buy locked phones in my country and I have Facebook force installed.

I’m not using lemmy but kbin. I’m just using the app shortcut that you can create in Chrome on Android. It works well enough for now

A lot of friends of mine have OnePlus for a reason, but I have personally stayed away since the data collection scandal in 2017 (https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/11/16457954/oneplus-phones-collecting-sensitive-data). I don’t trust Chinese phones in general very much because the government can force data collection very quickly but this is documented behavior by the company. I understand why developers use telemetry but everything but the most basic stuff should be opt in.
