The pixel security model makes secure, privacy respecting custom ROMs like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS more accessible.
My issues with the P7 are more like generic hangups seen with most phones today, and are not necessarily specifc to the phone itself. This is bearing in mind that my prior phone from 2019 (SD855 SoC) featured an LCD FHD display (without rounded corners or cutouts), headphone jack, notification LED, SD card slot. I had a lot of the hardware amenities that were already being phased out around that time.
I’ve made peace with the idea that I won’t get these back (I’m not going back to vendor ROMs), it’s just a shame that vendors can cut away at everything nice to have in the pursuit of cost optimisation.
Yeah, the phone duopoly is awful, especially for the software. Even on Graphene OS there’s bullshit like notifications only turning on some tiny portion of the screen with a brightness level near zero. Like, I have the setting on so I can see when notifications come in.
But yes I do miss the SD card slot. Not so much headphone jack because I personally prefer wireless but I stand with you.
And I have all day keep going.
Edit: sorry most of that wasn’t relevant to your comment.
how much time do you have 😓
