That is why they post 3.0 here.
3.2 can go up to 20GB/s , but phones never let full speed. Unknown reason.

Hold on a second, why is GSM Arena lying about the USB-C specification? It should be 3.2 gen 1, not 3.0. It's 10 Gbit/s.

[deleted post]You can on flagship android phones for the last good few years, multiple phones are even out with display port capabilities and the type C port can be used for drives/nvme, midi device for recording, a modem for a device etc and a few have good desktop modes that run really well on big screens even when casting.
Also huawei have sos satellite communication, messaging and call support, i believe their devices can still use certain features even when the phone is at 0% battery and not just their flagships get satellite messaging too. They are on the 2nd iteration of it.
Btw apples implementation of it which isnt any extra tech to use it, its simply using a qualcomm modem, the same ones in current snapdragon processors (or generally a generation behind the top android flagships).

Now that the weight is like 10% lower than the 14 pro max, I would consider going for this. USB- C port sounds awesome too on this. 60hz refresh rate is a downgrade from the previous versions. It should atleast have a 90hz.

I'd imagine it's mainly other devs who make their apps web wrappers, and I wouldn't exactly take the claims of other people about Google preventing Microsoft doing that to be fact.
- I think you didn't exactly understand the analogy I tried to make, so I'll try and make it simpler. If an app you like suddenly doesn't get updates anymore, would it be safer to assume that the developer doesn't want to update the app, or that the platform the app was on is forcing them to stop updating it? On top of that, since you mentioned custom ROMs, that is also often an issue with the manufacturer for not providing source code. That's the reason why brands like Google have many ROMs, meanwhile brands like Samsung and Mediatek-based phones usually don't.
- I'm not really sure of phones that don't let you enter contacts? My phones I have do, so that might have been a very rare bug, in which you should report if it consists and other people have similar issues.
- I don't have the time to look at them right now, but I'm not denying it.
- Fastboot isn't the reason people get stuck in fastboot mode. It's usually caused due to user error while installing custom ROMs, or hardware failure. It's also not just a Google thing, pretty much every Android phone has it, and it's used to unlock the bootloader. It's like if I claimed that the Recovery Mode on iPhones bricked the device, because if there's enough data corruption or hardware failure an iPhone will either not boot or be stuck in Recovery Mode.

"Why did Google ban Windo... moreBefore 2016 censored all of them, thousands of famous Windows Phone apps were replaced with web wrappers, and five star reviews of people warning other users that Google was preventing Microsoft from adding apps using Google services to their store. I was one of them. No one listened.
The Linux Distro analogy is the worst one i have ever seen in my entire life. X86 machines have BIOS and UEFI, which means the user has the RIGHT to install whatever they want. On ARM Android devices, changing "distro" is 99% of the time impossible. Asus tried to create an X86 phone to fight this, and they got laughed at. Just look at XDA, they are PANICKING.
If a phone cannot use my contacts, it's not a phone in my book.

Yes, you can theoretically use Fastboot on Google phones. IF you want to risk bricking them. Search "Google Pixel stuck in Fastboot mode".

FlarosOverfield, 13 Sep 2023Think about it for a second. Why did Google ban Windows Pho... moreI'll think about it.
"Why did Google ban Windows Phone from having any and all apps that used Google services, such as Youtube, and force Microsoft to shut down Lumia?"
I'm not sure what you mean by "Ban". I don't recall Google forcefully shutting down any Windows phone alternatives. If you know of one, let me know. Windows Phone was a competing OS that already didn't have a large following, it would not have made a lot of sense for Google to work on apps for dying competition.
"Why do 99% of Android phones only get 6 months of updates?"
Not sure where the 99% number is from, but that also depends on the manufacturer. For example, Google provides upwards of 5 years of software updates, and brands like Fairphone provide far more. On the other hand, brands like Ulefone likely won't provide as many updates, which isn't Google's fault, it's the fault of the company for not actually working on updates. Google doesn't push updates for OxygenOS, OneUI or MIUI. Think of it like a Linux distro, if a distro you like doesn't get any more updates, is it the fault of the developer, or the Linux foundation?
"Why do half of all bugs in Android seem to revolve around the function of a "Phone" rather than a "Smart" phone? (calls, contact syncing, etc)"
Again, I'm not really sure where you're getting this from. Maybe you don't use a lot of apps, and use more of the pre-installed apps on your device, but I find a lot of bugs I face come from the incompetence of developers (ex. Discord's utter incompetence with their new client).
"Why does Google collect 27 times more data than Apple, something that even Louis Rossmann is furious about?"
That is something I have hardly any knowledge of, but 27x seems like a large number. I'll have to check Louis's video on that, because I haven't seen a lot of his Pixel videos.
"Why do all Android phones boast "customization" but then make it nearly impossible to unlock the bootloader, something that x86 figured out 40 years ago?"
It's very possible to unlock the bootloader, but it depends on the manufacturer. For example, Google makes it very easy to do so (just via fastboot), but companies like HTC and LG required you to get a code, and some like ZTE and TCL never let you. It can also vary on carrier, as some, like T-Mobile, won't let you unlock the bootloader unless you ask them.

Think about it. Or maybe don't, you will find the rabbit hole rather unpleasant.
