My trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bought in 2017 is bricked and now I must buy a new phone. What are the recommendations of the hexbear community for a replacement? I was satisfied with my elderly phone except that there was a lot of junk that came with the phone that I couldn’t delete, and for the last couple years or so I’ve had to delete an app before I could add an app, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that, I was happy with it, so I don’t need the newest coolest thing.
Samsung still produces good phones. The flagships are overpriced but good, you’re probably better off with a mid range one like the Galaxy A54.
If you want a phone with less bloat consider a Google Pixel phone, that way you get just the Google bloat not also random manufacturer bloat.
Thanks, I’ll look at the Galaxy A54. I’m also thinking about a Pixel phone, but I heard the battery life isn’t as good? Or is this just people splitting hairs and the average user wouldn’t actually notice a difference?
The Motorola Edge is like the midrange Pixel with a mid camera and bigass battery. When you set it up it asks you if you want Motorola Bloatware and you just press the “Fuck off” button, unlike Samsung software that’s like 99% bullshit you don’t want or need on your phone. I got one like a month ago and it’s just fine for me, but I’m not like a phone enthusiast.
