Wasn't Xiaomi one of the companies that got caught sending all your data to China along with Hauwei and OnePlus?

I'm paying a little more, but way less than the mainstream brands (Samsung,Apple,Google,Motorola) without the Chinese data leak of the cheaper brands.

I used to buy the cheaper Motorola phones, but the quality is 50/50 if you get something good or not.

    What county do you live in? The ones made for the US can't replace batteries.

    And no iPhone don't hold value because they are the most reliable. They hold value because dick riders are too busy deep throating apple to look around.

    At one point it was so bad Apple users were discriminating because of text bubble colors. Nevermind the fact that Apple refused to update beyond basic SMS and that all other phones had the freedom to just change the damn color and not care

    I spent 5 minutes learning about his apartheid supporting parents, the emerald mine, and how he never actually accomplished anything but just lied about it when buying companies.

    Phone should last 5+ years, but you'll be lucky if you get 3 or even 4 years out of it until it starts to crap out.

    That's the reason I recently bought a fair phone. They promise updates until at least 2033. That's twice as long as any other manufacturer.

    We had some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it, - Kimmel

    "That's the way it has to be now. Or, involuntary lethal injection. Yeah. Or something. Just kill ‘em, yeah,” Kilmeade said in response to his co-host suggesting homeless people suffering from mental illness be imprisoned if they do not accept treatment.

    Kimmel is cancelled and being threatened by the FCC. Kilmeade isn't even facing consequences at all.
