Yeah but it’s a us based company

“root detection” is not actually detecting root as that is very difficult it’s detecting an unlocked bootloader or modified software that didn’t come on your phone(like a custom rom such as graphene os)

Not with the current trump administration. They can do whatever they want

Honestly dude she just needs to be more careful like this is a easy thing to not do

This is a different sideloading. The sideloading you are talking about is installing apks this is where you download a software update zip file and then sideload the update to the device to either upgrade or downgrade the os. This also has nothing to do with Google as their phones still have this capability

Yea kinda but look at apple. There has never been any freedom to do what you want with their phones and people have loved them. While you and I as enthusiasts may move to another platform because of stuff like this most people don’t even know about it.

How are they money grabs? Fortnite and valorant(only 2 games I can think of that are / are going to do this) are completely free with the option to buy cosmetics that don’t help you in anyway competitively.

I personally don’t because while I switched to Linux because Windows got too shit I am the only person I know who did that. No one else has switched at all and I still have to go back to it to use it for things that I can’t do on Linux or don’t work nearly as well. So I would much rather use Discord in its current state not with the dumb age verification thing with the people I currently use it with. I would love for there to be a popular alternative that is actually good but I don’t know of one.

It is only getting security patches until 2028. Honestly that doesn’t matter much though because of the strong custom ROM support. It’s underpowered for pretty much anything and everything. Any heavier emulation will struggle and I could disregard that but when you can get a OnePlus pad 2 for a similar price and you get an soc that is an integer factor faster it’s just not a good option.

Only issue is that would only get about another year of updates and it was underpowered at the time and even moreso now

yeah I agree it’s dumb but it is a tri fold. Heres a picture of a trifold

I agree dude it’s so annoying people just not understanding the metric system

Dude that’s china only and is the standard there. OnePlus phones are just oppo phones with a different coat of paint and this is what oppo phones are

That’s not true tho? The OnePlus 13(current latest phone) has tons of custom ROM support and can be easily unlocked. Have you looked at xda at all to check your claims?

You do realize you can unlock the bootloader of pretty much every OnePlus device right?

Or installing the operating system of my choosing

I mean there is no perceivable difference between 120 and 144 so it’s not that big of a deal but I wouldn’t call it a gimmick I would call it limited or locked down.

How it’s 144Hz a gimmick?

Yeah but like the screen folds. I agree that the keyboard has some uses. The folding screen doesn’t really or not nearly as many it’s just novelty cool. I personally don’t have a use case for either so the more technically impressive thing (the folding screen) seems cooler to me. And you have to admit that the first time you saw a folding tablet phone thing it kinda blew ur mind or at least it blew mine.

I mean am I wrong tho like that’s some star wars shit
