    Android worse every year? How? Every update I’ve received (on a Samsung, mind you) has made my experience better.

      Lots of proprietary google crap. Much harder to run a custom ROM with decent support and apps

      Android 12 took up 700MB RAM, leaving some space for non-sytem apps on lower end smartphones.

      Android 13 takes up easily 1.2GB, leaving almost nothing at the benefit of having a somewhat “snappier” interface

          You consider that a good thing… Phones shouldn’t have this much RAM.

            Why would higher RAM be a bad thing? That’s like saying phones shouldn’t have more storage, faster processors, better camera, …

            Sure, they worked before that already. But isn’t technological advancement still good?

      lol…last update (like every other update) on my Samsung I have to restart to get it to charge, and now videos lag horribly (try watching anything live? nope.)

      Worst phone ive ever had, hands down.
