    Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

    I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

    I used the A71 early 2020 till about a month or two ago, and it was a fantastic phone. Only reason I moved was it's out of support, so no more security updates.

    The battery was still rated at >90%. And I'd believe it, I never had to worry about it lasting a whole day. My only complaint about the phone was even during its support period the security patches were infrequent.

    I contemplated Samsung again but chose a Pixel 9a due to the monthly security updates for 7 years. And in doing so I've given up dual sim, headphone jack and sd card slot (but few phones have all those features now).

    I'm curious what made your experience with the A71 so terrible?

      It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I'd have to constantly reset.

      The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

      It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc...

      When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)

        Had endlesss issues with 2x Nexus phones, eschewed google, gave them another chance with a Pixel 6Pro, sold it after a month it was so shitty and grabbed a Samsung S22u that i still use. I use the pen so often its shitty not having one and goodlock does along looottts of customisation. I also mostly prefer their apps to googles, alas googles cant be deleted 😞

        I am glad you have had a better experience than me. I am pretty happy with Pixel now but I am going to try the Graphene route this weekend.

        I appreciate your response.

          You haven't had to touch the screen on a Samsung phone since like the S6, every model after that opens from the back.

          Well, maybe I'll try again in the future but I don't currently own a Samsung.

            Did you tap the text "Battery Information"?

              Your pixel 5 didn't just mysteriously die? There was a wave of them dying. Mine was part of the crossfire.

              I loved the pixel 5 too, for like 3 years then mysteriously croaked.

              Currently on the pixel 6 which is pretty good.

              Ive not heard of this - were you on the standard Google OS? I wonder if that makes any difference.

              I've been on custom ROM (CalyxOS) for most of the phone's life.

                I can anecdotally attest to this. I've been using the same Samsung phone since basically 2020 with original battery and the runtime is still damn good for what I need.

                  Jobs figured everything out a long time ago. Why are you desecrating his memory?

                      What are you talking about? The article doesn't mention him.

                        You're comparing apples and oranges. The A71 isn't supposed to be comparable with a pixel 9.

                        You're comparing the three-door Nissan to a Lamborghini

                          But they don't have GrapheneOS 😟

                          Unfortunately, the future of grapheneos is not certain anyway with Google going closed source on all the drivers and device trees

                            Can confirm my pixel 6a battery went to dogshit this week. Almost feels like it's more the update than anything with the battery.... but I guess I'll be learning to switch battery and finally going back to lineageos

                            Their obsession with the tensor AI chip is very strange

                              Whoa that happened to the 6a as well? That whole thing with the 4a was a disaster.

                              Lol the 5a disaster was even worse, they kept selling it until it was too much. I had to replace 5a early this year because the screen died from a small drop
