While we are at it, let's put extendable antennae back on phones. Why do we need large touchscreens? Let's just go back to small monochrome phone screens.......

          Got to handle one today and have to admit, it feels better built than my S22. Every feels nicely put together tightly and the finish is much nicer. Always like Apple craftsmanship. The camera bump is what makes it feel inferior to the Pro models. Apple is good at letting you know the difference.

            Durability is a joke on phones

Vivo gets extra points knocked off for having a virtually un-unlockable bootloader. My LG V60 is getting replaced by... While I only have one option so take a guess. Yeah it's Sony! The only company who didn't join in the festivities throwing s**t at their customers.

                        The problem is probably on the inside.

                          I see that remark about repairing

                          the components are serialized and impossible to just replace, on top of the horrible "repair program"

                          screw apple
