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.
Updates for the OS yes, but lots of new software features no. For example, the iPhone 11 never got the software update for making Face ID work with a mask on, despite being the new phone through most of 2020. There’s always a bunch of random software features not released for older phones, but the Face ID mask update being only for the newer phones was fucking criminal.
