electrineer30460196dYou wouldn't buy a computer you can't flash your own operating system on. Why would you do that with a phone?

PaperTrail10734196dYou'll regret paying $100 for the Motorola or OnePlus that keeps dropping the bluetooth connection.
It sucks about the Asus, but in most cases, you get what you pay for. -
Demolishun33666196d@PaperTrail I bought MotoG Stylus for $250 I think. Never use the Stylus, but it works well on bluetooth for the most part.

thebiochemic3038196dmy phone cost me 260 euronians, and im running it since it came out in 2019.
No slowdowns no nothing.
Just the occasional backup and cleaning session of the internal drive, as you should do regardless. -
Demolishun33666196d@thebiochemic so Americans will use any measurement system besides metric. And europeans will use any currency besides the usd. Hence europeans are now trading in "euronians". It really cost 260 citizens of europe? ;-)

PaperTrail10734196d@Demolishun > "I bought MotoG Stylus for $250"
My father-in-law bought a Moto for around $200 (urged by my wife to save him money) against my better advice to spend a little more and get at least Samsung (better specs+reviews).
The phone would drop/delete his bluetooth hearing aids and I was constantly having to re-pair them. Pictures where grainy and videos were just as bad.
Wife: "Why did you listen to me and get him that crappy phone when you knew better!?"
On the plus side, that phone was nearly indestructible. Cracked screen, cracked case...that old man must have dropped the phone a thousand times. Despite the problems, it still worked.
Couple of crappy phones later, he upgraded to a Samsung S23 (my suggestion). He said it was best phone he ever had. -
Demolishun33666196d@PaperTrail I don't know then. I have had excellent success with my phone. I have not experienced any of those issues.
I'm never buying expensive phones ever again. Ny Asus ROG Phone 5S which I spent $480 for, got its WiFi and Hotspot feature completely broken just 13 months after I bought it.
I looked it up and many other people are having the same problem and it turned out that it was a manufacturer defect
So Asus bricked my phone on purpose.
