actually, now your saying it, the battery is a nightmare for me. i've got more powerbanks then amazon warehouse.

Just consider this
Don't turn off your phone or charge it when you go to sleep (if you even do that). It should have a sleep focus feature and what not where it disables notifications etc during night/sleep time
Remember the % of your battery.
Wake up after 8hr later and check your phone and check what %.
It will shock you how much it just consumes for just existing.

Nah
Had multiple samsung products (A & S Phone & S & S Lite Tablets)
and it's full of useless bloatware shoved down my throat
battery had always been an issue for me (especially the S series phones)

Can't you just install a cleaner OS version?
What would you recommend as a decent out of the box Android phone?

realme narzo series is battery efficient compared to samsung A series. My samsung phone battery once charged to 96% lasts for 9 to 11 days with super battery saver. I don't deal with scam and fraud job portals.

Yes but that's a total pain and at that price you are paying, it's a hassle and not even worth it cuz remember, Samsung is premium in the Android mobile market.
Google Pixel is so much friendlier outside the box and alot easier to de-google if you are into that
Motorola phones still surprise me, I thought they would of died when flip phones were out of fashion. But I have had and use a few of them and they last me solid years.

May be look into nokia smartphones if you want 5g phone for cheap. I have a nokia g42 which is pretty much bang for the buck and has a clean rom.

I can't comment on Nokia since I haven't used them since they were brick phones, but I trust @Gogol opinion
Oppa / Xiaomi / Honor / RealMe/ Blue whatever
These are cheap chinese phones, I had brought them for family/friends before, (since they like them) & I had used some for work, cuz fuck companies are cheap bastards and either will offer me a crap chinese spyware or a samsung trash. (So obviously I take the lesser evil)
They are easy to use and despite being chinese spyware, they don't have the immense amount of trash pre-installed.
If I had to choose honestly and clearly price isn't an object (considering if you are already spending $$$ on a samsung, you can afford any of the other android phones in the market).
I would take Google first and Motorola second.

you could uninstall apps or disable these apps.

I rarely check this forum, but once a week I always see this guy (Reminisce) being naive about Apple and promoting this garbage like it's the top 1 privacy-concerned device. Apple = Kali Linux for those guys, lol

Like, do you really think that Chinese cellphones are coded by Satan himself with the evil Communist Party...and iPhone are coded by whom? Jesus and Mother Teresa? Lmao, both are spyware, if you really think you are not being used and spied by the US government by using your iPhone, you are being very, very naive.

No place to run, you can only pick to be spied by China, Russia, USA or whatever, those devices are just spyware, regardless their brand

and when did i say Apple in this thread?
Must be nice to have a negative reading comprehension

 

[eric968]

use samsung yourself and see the difference compared to iphone pricing. invest saved money in bank fd while interest is high during new year.

if you lucky and won some "y" lottery and from emerging economy then buy samsung if you plan new phone during new year compared to iphone and invest money in mutual funds based on equity.

I have never touched a crap stuff like iphone in my life and with titanium body it breaks in 1 drop on floor.

I don't trust anything that can't be rooted, and I won’t touch or keep a device if I can't root it. When choosing a phone, that's my main consideration. As a result, I'm always late to the party - usually 6-12 months after a new model is launched - because I wait until it can be rooted (and the price drops as well).

Once that's sorted, I buy it. I've never owned an Apple device, but I’ve had almost every known and unknown Android brand since Android 4.4 (KitKat).

Here’s a quick rating:

Chinese Phones:
Extremely reliable and stable both before and after rooting, but they’re the hardest to root. Most of them are based on Huawei technology, and since 2018, Huawei has stopped providing bootloader unlock codes. While there are still methods, it has become increasingly difficult - almost impossible in recent years - without performing hardware modifications, not just software tweaks. That said, they remain very stable.

Samsung:
The last truly stable Android version for Samsung was Android 9. After that, they became like “North Korea” with excessive permissions that crippled many app features. If you root them and install custom ROMs from reliable sources, they become the best and fastest Android phones. However, bypassing restrictions like banking app limitations after rooting requires some expertise.

Other brands are just a mix of these 2.

Overall:
I currently prefer Chinese phones, but for my proxy business, I use Samsung's exclusively because they’re faster when stripped of bloatware.
