              I still remember my S4. After each system update, about 3 to 5 bloatware/adware apps suddenly were installed and I had to remove them again.

              And today: Admittedly a few less bloatware apps, but can’t remove some of them anymore.

                  Osiris, 10 Feb 2022Also headphones and charger from the box lolI don't mind that tbh. Remove anything you want from the box that I can buy third party, But removing useful inexpensive features from the phone itself is unforgivable.

So fault lies with gsmarena for omitting the word "super". Samsung's first AMOLED phone i7110 was released only 3 months after N85.

                              ...that the market has swung too much towards one side (pro-business), that there is a sizeable and untapped market for the other (pro-consumer) device type.

                              Imagine a device with longevity built:
                              - internal components modular
                              - stock software with support
                              - high-end specifications so it doesn't get obsolete
                              - use of components for long-term duration
                              - durable design
                              - affordable price (they're in it for the long haul, not short sales duration)

                                        I still have my LG G5 but I found removable batteries actually have worse battery life and shorter shelf life. I have 4 spare batteries including a red one. They all last about the same and then get degrade quickly after a year. While my Pixel 3's from May 2019 hasn't degraded much at all doing the 80-20 rule.

                                        I do miss those options including microSD slot, headphone jack, and IR blaster. But living with 2 GB RAM for 7 years would be too hard for me.
