reminder that the first major android tablet was the originally Samsung galaxy tab, a 7.something inch tablet which cost as much as an iPad but was measurably worse in so many ways that Samsung had to hide how many they sold by counting units shipped and not units sold.

i got a sick razer gaming phone at work for a test device. I can confidently say that no one should own one, it's huge and the corner of it scratched the screen of an OG pixel I had in my pocket with it

android OS choices: stock os made by the oem good for 2 years maybe if you buy on launch day, still weeks/months behind google jail broken community rom compiled nightly, must wade neck beard deep in forums to know what phone to get and what’s currently broken

also, still: if you must buy an android phone, get a cheap nokia nothing has a better update guarantee/deal, and they are very decent value. the china network registration software getting loaded on some going to europe was stupid as hell, but hard to interpret as anything but a mistake.

google is so bad at hardware. to be fair the entire phone industry declined, but selling a middling tier phone at premium prices is a joke.

lol weren't the xoom tablets the ones that went on firesale and it turned out they spend so much time sitting around that the battery self-discarged past the point that they could be recovered because the charging circuit wouldn't engage and couldn't bootstrap off the available 5v USB power or was that the blackberry ones?
