Google won't scan my private photos. Neither do I have Android (nor iOS) on my phone, nor do I use Gmail and certainly not Google Photos.

    What do you use for your phone, out of curiosity?

    Sailfish OS on my Jolla Phone 2026, fully natively. It is as "Nokia" as you can go today, given it is the successor of Meego, the last in-house Nokia OS, which was fully gesture based before iOS and Android. Nowadays it feels IMHO refreshingly clean, certainly different from the duopoly but also from other Linux phones.

    How are the cell/4g/5g and standby times? Those are items that have kept me from going sailfish on my sony since forever.

    Are they alright yet? I can live with things like subpar (or even no) camera, but not those 2

    My phone is on 4G Volte all the time, it supposedly is capable of 5G but I have never seen it, others have. Not sure if that has something to do with my provider which is a budget one. I really don't care enough about 5G to figure that out. What I have heard is that some phones show 5G even when they are currently actually using 4G because there is no need for the bandwith, while sailfish OS only showd it when it is actually used.

    Regarding battery life, I cant really tell how long it survives on idle. I never have that phone idling for that long. The most recent system update did improve power consumption though, by fixing some background process cpu waste. At medium use battery holds 2 days.
