Sony is shifty with their PlayStation practices but their phones are genuinely good - seems like they are closer with the camera part of the business, which is pretty well liked from what I understand. The software support (or lack of) is the main issue but the hardware is clearly made by people that care (although apparently not enough about overheating on the IV series).
I miss my G6 a lot - easily the phone I was most happy with. Sadly, mine had battery issues years ago.
Why do I love the phones of (potentially) soon to be dying (phone divisions of) companies? I should ask a therapist.
As someone who just switched to an Xperia as it’s one of the few phones that still has a headphone jack, NFC, and microSD slot, this sucks. The software support is the biggest problem IMO because the rest is great.
It’s very good but very expensive and the software support is not defined (but previous ones have been 2 years of security updates, which is terrible). I’m hoping Lineage OS will extend the usefulness or I may regret it. I couldn’t find another phone that had microSD and headphone jack that I wanted.
I had that only when they got damaged, but they easily get damaged
I have had similar issues with USB-C ports but avoid wireless charging as it often causes damage to the battery via excess heating (particularly if not perfectly aligned). I’d give up a 3.5mm jack for a redundant USB-C.
There are but they are not reliable, even from reputable companies. I had both the ones I tried break very quickly, and moved back to requiring a headphone jack after that.
I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.
Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).
Yeah, I absolutely want this option on all keyboards too. I just moved to openboard and it’s the thing I miss most by far.
I moved to Splid and found it a bit less clear than Splitwise but better in other ways once I’d figured it out. It’s not FOSS, unfortunately, but I do trust it much more than Splitwise.
Some Asian markets don’t use it, so there are some exceptions. This becomes important when the other requirements filter it down so much (but this was more of a problem a few years ago).
