Could almost be an advert for TSMC

Apparently some people don’t react to bed bug bites so there’s no itching at all

Have you tried going to Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode and change it to Natural?

The difference between the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be huge in both performance and efficiency.

For the price difference I’d wait for a deal and go for the S23 if it was me.

Feature wise most mobile OS’s are pretty mature so it’s only natural to see less “improvements” compared to the early days.

Use your favourite Lemmy client for example, the first month of development every release brought a bunch of new features and improvements but these days the releases are all pretty small.

You get secure face unlock now as an alternative if the fingerprint sensor isn’t cutting it.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will mean not very good battery life

Not a China shill but I’m pretty sure they see the connection and have been investing heavily in renewables.

Top notch camera, top specs, best software support. It’s usually my first choice when I look for an android phone.

A lot of the issues you listed are bad for people that want to mod their phones but they are pros for anyone that wants a secure phone. As I get older, I just want a phone that works that is actively supported and patched from security vulnerabilities.

It’s a bit hard to find the details of the vulnerabilities let alone POCs.

I would assume the APIs provided by android use the underlying system libraries so if left unpatched then any app that makes use of the APIs could potentially be an attack surface? This is all my assumption and it would be nice for someone that specialises in Android security to comment.
