Putting aside the login app. The downside would be less networking, connections, and job finding if you do not have a smartphone and WhatsApp. Not to mention digital payments, banking, tickets for trains, bus, etc,. Unless, you want to lose time and be in a queue everywhere.

Having custom ROM compatibility is good. But, this is not acceptable for a device you daily drive. You do not expect a software update to brick the phone, or erase the data.

Its beyond inconvinient. My work requires a login app which works only on android. Plus, Whatsapp for co-ordination, planning and allocation. If you do not have one. You cannot work at all.

I have mentioned that in the software summary.

You could consider older flagship phones if you can get one at a reasonable price.

You could consider the Fairphone 6 with its 8yrs of security updates and 5yrs of warranty.

512GB variant is going to be rare. There was a time in 2023 when you could get a midrange phone with 1TB of storage.

Now, all they talk about are downgrades. Greed has been affecting us all this time.

There’s the final fantasy series. But, honestly you are expecting way too much. People are not willing to give $1 for a useful app. Forget throwing 10-30 times that amount for a console quality game.

Google always tries to cheap out on hardware and try to make up for it in software.

Sorry, I meant Rush Rally 3. Anyway, there’s GridAutosport, Wreakfest.

I have listed all the games that I have played and still keep installed on my phone. Others like Real Racing 3 require powerful hardware which my phone does not have unfortunately.

What exactly are you expecting here?

You can also install Shizuku and use the Shizuku installation method which is seamless and requires no user interaction to update and install apps.

What bottleneck are you talking about?

And that is unacceptable considering the price tag of some devices.

I agree for pixel phones. For everyone else you have options. you can game at medium to high settings on upper midrange dimensity 8300/8400 phones, snapdragon 7+ gen 2/3, 8gen 2, 8s gen 3, and other phones.

Didn’t say it wasn’t. Just said others should be scrutinized too. Not everyone buys a nothing phone.

Somebody decided to scrutinize nothing that’s the reason we know.I bet its similar on other phones when you debloat their ROMs.

We need more such information for other phones too so we know better.

There are decent paid native games on android. You can try those.

TL;DR

• Android is preparing to update scrolling screenshots so the system automatically deletes the original image after you save the expanded version.
• This change prevents gallery clutter by removing the redundant initial screenshot once the full scrolling capture is saved or shared.
• We spotted this quality-of-life improvement in the latest Android Canary build, and it could arrive in the Android 16 QPR3 stable release next March.

What app did you try?

Not to forget the vibe coding stupidity.
