Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

    My phone is an A52s 5G and I got it specifically because you can mod it to oblivion, this phone has a huge modding community atm. Most ROMs include a workaround for netflix and as I stated above, there are ways to make the camera just as good as stock (I haven’t bothered, as imo the custom ROM’s camera is good enough), and as for payments… Yeah, got nothing there, GWallet used to work but google has been actively fighting against it, so it doesn’t anymore. I, personally am more than willing to drop GWallet to use a custom ROM… The amount of customization, community support, no fcking ads in the quick access menu and the knowledge that it’s my phone, I choose what is installed on it and what isn’t and unlimited GPhotos storage via a trick that most custom ROMs use is just way too good to pass on…

    E: Idk wym by “camera doesn’t open if I unlock the bootloader” seems to work fine for me on CrDroid (custom ROM). Amd my question is, why would you use the stock rom if you’ve already went through the effort of unlocking the bootloader, OneUI sucks…

    Imo it’s a good idea on any phone. Period. It’s MY phone, I BOUGHT it, I get to choose how long it gets updates for, what is installed and what happens to it, NOT samsung or the ISP…

    E2: You got seriously ripped off, if you paid 500 Euro for an A52S

    spoiler

    Also netflix 💀
