Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation?
IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours agoOh yea. One of the reasons why I went for a Samsung A-Series instead of the S-Series is the microSD card slot. Yes, that slot is just soooo goood.
I can get an A series phone for like $400 with IP67 Water Resistance, and buy a $130 1TB MicroSD card and Voila, a 1TB phone. The cheapest Galaxy S-Series phone with 1TB storage is a $1500 Galaxy Ultra.
Like bruh, I don’t want to pay $1000 more if all I want to do is watch youtube videos with it.
I can have an offline wikipedia, like 10 TV shows, a few movies, the top 100 of my favorite Youtube Videos, thousands of books (that I’ll probably never read), cat photos, more cat photos, cat videos, and even more cat videos… etc…
I have a mini computer in my pocket.
Sadly no replaceable battery tho 🤷♂️

Okey so I googled it. “Low range android phones blabla…”. Checked the price. Oh yeah wtf it’s 400€ lol. That’s more than I ever paid for a phone, even including the current one, Honor 10 which I got before covid

I mean… $400 is what I was willing to spend. You could go lower.
But I used sub-$100 android phones and… they aren’t great. (very laggy)

Yup totally agreed, I tied one for 150,and it was barely usable, I decided I can’t force myself to use that
