Same. Last time I actually saw one on the wild in the US was 2018. I've actually seen more One Plus phones, which doesn't exactly surprise me for some reason.

I've grown to hate the power button sensor on Moto's because on many cases the cutout for the button is deep. Making it a pain in the ass to get good contact with the button for the sensor to read properly. Literally never have gotten it to read successfully on the first try since I've owned the phone with the case I use.

Yes, it's technically a case problem, but it shouldn't be on the friggin power button to begin with imo.

I'm kinda the opposite. Wide phones always gave me hand cramps but that's likely because I have smaller sized hands I guess.

I don't use gesture navigation but in my experience, reducing the "Window Animation" or the "Transition Animation" speed (in developer settings) can greatly improve this. YMMV.

I'm curious, what's the recourse here when this happens? Does Google make it right somehow when their own software bricks their own devices?

Or is just "Oops, our bad. Just buy a new one, best of luck!!"?

Does reflashing a ROM fix it? (aside from some data loss, of course)

That is pretty cool man.

That lack of competing isn't because of price tho. The CCP has effectively convinced the population that Apple (US phones) are bad/untrustworthy, much like the US government has done regarding Huawei. There was a time when Apple had a decent (not great) marketshare in China.

Yeah, they're just slinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. There's no real thought put into anything these days. I'm very tired of the 'Form over Functionality' bs that's being hidden behind fancy marketing.

I'm not convinced. This company has purposely avoided OS updates because it's profitable to them. It causes people to buy their phones more frequently over a shorter period of time, thus offsetting the cheaper price they offer them at.

If this is true, I suspect we will see a noticeable increase of price on their phones and much less discounts.

Great discussion, BTW, man. I appreciate the back and forth. You were far more cival than me in this on a few things that is not lost on me.

Cheers.
