Super cute

Thanks for the heads up. This will make sure we never commit such criminal activity ever again.

FE used to stand for Fan Edition, but now it’s just a slightly tweaked, cheaper S series smartphone.

Sorry, for late reply. Apparently, due a server configuration issue. Lemmy.world posts and replies were not syncing to reddthat.

Anyway, I just re-checked and my local marketplace was showing the 12GB/256GB variant as not deliverable. I checked in storage option on site, and the 512GB variant was hidden inside. Changing to that made the option available.

So, I could’ve bought this phone. I will consider the future phone 3a/4a or phone 3/4. Thanks for helping.

Also is Lineage OS shipping patches? I know many devices have been abandoned by the vendors so it is entirely possible this will go unpatched in older devices

This is a vulnerability in a proprietary Qualcomm’s DSP. The patch will only be made available to OEMs. LineageOS cannot patch this vulnerability if the device itself is no longer receiving official updates.

I get the point of chromium. But, for firefox if you argue about it being useless without add-ons. The same can be said for chromium browsers apart from it being controlled by google.

Instead of smart folders they should consider copying Smart launcher and categorize apps in categories of seperate pages. That’s the one I like the most and one of the reasons I use smart launcher.

You will wait a long time and still see no results. What’s wrong with existing Chromium or Firefox?

This won’t help sell a new device.

Oneplus has been notorious for some reason with wireless charging. They include it on and off on their smartphones. This phone may also include magnetic wireless charging with/without a case. But, yeah true for other smartphones…

The biggest insult Youtube could get. A person refusing to use it even when it had zero ads because it was heavy.

But, yes I agree Youtube mobile app is inefficient and reloads losing my place. Unfortunately, I have the same issue with grayjay making even that one a non-starter.

Bad news. Because you wouldn’t be able to flash custom ROMs or do other modifications to your device.

If you are not familiar with rooting and custom ROMs. It should not matter to you.

The performance may not be on par with other Flagships Socs. But, it can be considered a decent upper midrange flagship smartphone. The pixel phones after Pixel 8 are decent and do not have the bad heating issues of the past Pixel generations.

Anysoftkeyboard had undo function last I knew.

Bad reviews for pirated apps sounds like a stupid excuse.

Last I knew you couldn’t leave a review unless you visited the play store app page from the active Google account you installed and bought the app from.

Yeah, keepassDX works great. The keyboard function makes up for the 10% finicky apps where autofill cannot work for some reason. I have found only one app where copy-paste is blocked. This works for 99.99% of use cases.

It’s old, expensive, and not available anymore. Plus, has the same 128/256 storage issue – atleast the listings I checked in my region.

What about it? It also lacks sdcard support and is fixed at 128/256gb storage options.

Anyone else feel the pain of trying to get a decent upper midrange smartphone which either has 12GB of ram, sdcard support and/or internal storage higher than 256GB in a decent price?

Many OEMs like nothing which I would’ve considered are obsessed with 128GB - 256GB of fixed internal storage.

If you can’t provide a 512GB -1TB option in decent price range. Add support for sdcard storage. It can’t be that hard to do so.

The chinese version would lack Google Play services. Your standard android apps could break. Sideloading play services could be an option. But, I’m not sure if it is seamless and without quirks here.

Being a chinese ROM english translations could also be rough. Research more and make your choice. If the things I mentioned do not matter much. You should be fine.
