they shoot themselves in the foot by increasing prices. After owning multiple OP phones (last one was an 8T ) I got a realme GT 7 pro, way cheaper than OP and it’s of same hardware quality and software

Damn. Missed opportunity for OnePlus. I know their phasing out phones but I was going that was in favor of GOS. I really want an IR Blaster still (｡╯︵╰｡)

Galaxy S3 was peak phone, removable battery and built in IR blaster. It only went downhill from there.

Oh man, I fucking miss the IR blaster. I loved having the ability to make custom remotes in my phone, made it so easy to control the crappy projector l was using at the time

You can get that in most Chinese phones. The IR blaster, that is.
There’s even some brands that have crazy phones, like Unihertz, Doogee and Ulefone. You can even get one with a projector.
Unihertz specifically makes special phones.

Utah my TCL phone is fucking awesome! It wasn’t listed in specs, but has one. I add a lot of interesting and unique privacy settings not found in other Android12 that I know of. Had a privacy audit mode to check through all apps and told you what it didn’t think needed permission to mic, contacts, etc. Beats going through each app to do this.

Even up to the S5 had those.
