Unless an iphone becomes literally the only option, I don't see myself ever getting one. I'm deeply morally opposed to their walled-garden approach, and I won't even get one Samsung's Androids for the same reason. It would be nice for me if there was more people like me, but regardless, as long as there's a freer option, I'll be taking it.
What phone did you end up choosing?
I went with the Motorola G Stylus 5g. It's not perfect, but it does have an SD slot, a headphone jack, FM radio, an easily unlocked bootloader, and a built-in stylus I didn't expect to care about but which I have grown weirdly dependent on. I just wish it had a removable battery.
How are you liking it? That's at the top of my short list for my next phone? Any major flaws or issues?
Zero issues for me so far, except the standard complaint about modern phones; it's too darn big.
I really like the size but I'm 6'2" and about 260 pounds so I'm a pretty big guy I guess.
Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to a smaller one again though.
I can't think of any particular complaints I have with mine.
Works well...
Okay, I take that back... I wish battery life was a little bit better ...
But, that said, I often spend entirely too much time goofing off on my phone lately and that's certainly not helping.
Thanks. I'm the only one I know who uses moto phones so it's nice to hear opinions from people who actually own them.
It's what I have as well and I quite like it.
It's a very good phone overall in my opinion.
