I like them. Bloat ware is a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker. Just use my launcher to hide it. Timely updates, decent UI, relatively long-term support, some neat features here and there (integration with Windows 10-100 Phone Link is really cool), and having one of the last phones with the trifecta of headphone jack + microSD card slot + OIS means I'll be holding on to this for a long long time!
I thought most Android phones can use Windows Phone Link now.
I haven't been keeping track, but the neatest feature (seamless mirroring) only works with Samsung phones when I was shopping for a new phone.
Tell me about the seamless mirroring. I haven't heard of it before.
It's just mirroring your phone's screen in Windows. Nice when I'm at the desktop and don't want to use the phone.
That's actually pretty neat. I've heard Microsoft is bringing that natively with Windows 11 now.
Yea, Win11's Android subsytem is pretty neat, but I'm waiting for the UI bits to get cleaned up before I think of upgrading. Am happy to use Win10 and this method of getting apps on the desktop screen for now.
