The whole history of anroid is devices that people are desperate to proclaim are just as good as if not better than iPhones except they all have hosed up screens or they explode or they have some unfixable vulnerability or they are abandoned in 9 months or whatever

even when an android device is good they universally sell poorly because android buyers only care about specs if theyre nerds and whether theyre samsungs if theyre normals and the followup immediately gets rid of whatever it is that made them good in an attempt to chase sales of bad androids also any good android is only good in retrospect when its clear that the device didnt explode or fail to get any updates or die for no reason even when its both known that a device is good and its still being sold like the pixel 1 still no one will buy it because their edge case isnt addressed and its too darn expensive hey how come my new lg just died/my samsung exploded?

last time i had an android phone it used to randomly wake me up in the middle of the night with a loud notification sound which informed me that a system component had crashed (did not respect the volume controls or setting it to silent), took me an age to figure out what the pattern was: it would eventually crash if i placed it on a library book on my bedside table, the nfc implementation kept attempting to talk to the nfc tag in the book, and its negotiation attempts with this mysterious object the nfc subsystem would (sometimes) crash that is my android story

a coworker’s android telephone has a free virus scanner which plays an advert on completion of a scan, so once a week we all get to hear 5 seconds of a movie trailer or w/e

that's handy, you can find out your phone has no viruses AND see the latest hit movie that advertises via virus scanner!

qirex posted:does it have optical image stabilization? that might be on purpose nope. this same rattle sound existed in my first and second 5x too. after a week or two of use, both of them developed a problem where i think the earpiece speaker became detached from whatever it had been fastened to internally, because calls sounded like either the speaker was blown out or it was vibrating against other stuff in there. my third one didn't rattle and also didn't develop this problem, it just developed a garden variety boot loop after about 14 months. android
