When I worked at one of the US’s major wireless carriers as a manager, I snagged an HTC phone when it was one of the first Android phones. It was small but very cool. I’d been using an iPhone 3G at the time and as soon as I played around with the Android, I knew I had to have it, and never looked back! That was 2009 I think.

You’re lucky then. I’m at 75% full on internal storage (128g) and 86% full on SD card (64g) on my Motorola phone.

A lot of that is apps, yes but the majority is music and photos.

I, too, am using the Motorola One 5G, and really aside from updates, I have no complaints, except the phone trips out once in a while or has weird screen glitches on occasion. Great phone though. Hoping to upgrade to one of the Edge series soon.

I’m using Voyager, but giving Boost some attention. We will see which I like better… I didn’t like Sync or Jerboa much.

I have a Motorola, and I like it a lot.

I started Lemmy with Jerboa, switched to Sync, tried Eternity (Infinity), un-installed immediately, and am now very happy using Voyager.

So for me personally, Boost is a little late.

Iook I’m not a tech person, I always thought 1 gig was 1024 megabytes?

What is a GiB? I’ve seen it but always wondered.

I don’t even understand what Android Auto is.

The family car is a 99 Toyota rav 4. We stick a cassette in the player with a cord attached, and plug that in to the phone for music lol

I use @phonescoop.com or gsmarena to compare specs and read reviews.

I worked at AT&T when iphones first were a thing. Everything was proprietary (still is) with them, and employees weren’t allowed to own phones for the first few years on employee accounts for some unknown reason. When I became a case manager for the executive response team, I finally got to have an iPhone. And… It was boring. I couldn’t customize it (granted this was the iPhone 3G in 2008) and it just really didn’t excite me. Then I got an Android phone on a whim, and fell in love. All the options!! The things you can do or choose not to do! Amazing! And still to this day whenever I play with an iPhone… It bores me to death.

I’m in the US and my thought is that it’s easier to use sms because not everyone uses Signal, not everyone uses Telegram, and those types. If they did… One person would prefer Snapchat, the other would prefer Signal… Too many choices. With SMS, it’s just your phone number, and everyone has a phone number.

Otherwise you gotta get usernames for different people for different apps… It’s too complicated.

Yuck why do people continue to buy Apple products?

Oh for Pete’s sakes. Art is art.
