okay gently caress Samsung, I will not buy their poo poo because I'm personally tired of it and you all have confirmed that it's garbage. But to all the people recommending the Pixel, what does that have over the OnePlus 7 Pro? I'd obviously like to go with a stock Google build and get their updates quicker, but I don't know what makes it better than the OnePlus 7 Pro. i dress myself sometimes

i would trust google over oneplus on hardware, just for trustworthiness

oneplus has had a few nasty security issues that makes me not trust them so much as a corporation. it’s prolly ok now but,

don't quit your apps unless one of them is misbehaving, if you quit the app your phone has to reload everything from "disk" instead of resuming from a suspended (not using any processor time) state

im also going to say "get an iphone"

if you must get a phone that is not an iphone the pixel is the only thing even remotely worth considering since it wont be packed to bursting with lovely preinstalled apps that cant be removed without a phd in computer science and it will also get updates to fix critical security vulnerabilities for at least 10-15 days after you buy it unlike literally every other android phone

i mean im all for an iphone but having seen a friend get the s10 husky edition i can say they are nice and samsung generally gets regular updates, but those updates are random touchwiz changes or whatever which are dumb. its a real monkey paw phone company but all the wishes are ironic

moo cow is right in this instance. op should not buy a five year old iphone that's going to be end of lifed by the end of the year. one would have to be an idiot farmer in new zealand to make such a dumbass mistake.
