    I need a new phone and I want to cry because it is seeming that the Pixel Pro with Graphene is the best I can do. New phones fucking suck, It’ not about “I need the MAXIMUM PRIVACY 90000” it’s “I want some control, I’m not buying a Samsung ever again due to the mountain of irremovable bloatware”

      For real. Samsung’s sheer quantity of bloatware on every phone is ridiculous. It’s the primary reason I’m never buying from them again, aside from just plain old privacy concerns.

        I have a Galaxy Note 9 from the days of yore and it’s beginning to show its age, I need to replace it before it completely shits the bed, but like, what am I supposed to replace it with?

        I need a headphone jack, I need it to be powerful enough to run modest phone games to the tune of Arknights and similar, and I want to feel like I have a half decent amount of control over it (no apps I can’t remove within reason)

      I too was disgruntled with samsung and chose a pixel and grapheneOS. It does not have a headphone jack but I can reluctantly live with that. It has been the best OS i have ever used and I didn’t even have to root it.
