When you design an OS to pretend there's no such thing as a file, it ends up being bad at handling files.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, even today, browsing through files on Android is a fucking mess. And there isn't an SD card.

So the SD card wasn't the problem

I was trying to figure out recently how do I copy files into application user data directory, it turns out you just can't, lol.

You can with very basic root tools, but really that just solidifies your point. It's an easy thing to do, but they've intentionally taken away the ability for no good reason

It's perfectly fine on Sony Xperia.

Which did away with the headphone jack and asks €400 for crap performance.

Nah I'm sticking to my Samsung XCover

Xperia IV aren't crap performance but they are 3x €400

It was the SOC that wasn't great. Nothing to do with the manufacturers.

Ah, I had the Experia XZ Compact before, the performance was awful, even when I didn't have high expectations.
It even had trouble just web browsing static, textual webpages.

The camera was really good, but that was the only thing I was happy with.

Either way, the fact that your good Sony phone is around € 1200 speaks volumes.

Either way, you could spend the same amount on an iPhone or a Samsung. Failing to see your point here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That those are also either overpriced or bad, and don't have audio jacks, replaceable batteries or normal screens, either.

Mobile Linux seems to carry it really good
