Hey hey, great suggestion. I do actually have stremio + torrentio + real debrid set up, works really well! Thing is, I've been getting some errors with Real Debrid on Paramount+ kids shows. Seems like they're cracking down on those torrents or something? Anyway those I've just been downloading manually instead, but it's made me want to download more stuff just in case the streaming setup becomes less consistent :p

Whoops, I think they meant software support, like how long the phone is updated for. Hopefully this still helps.

I never quite understood the headphone jack thing. It's a nifty thing to have but an adapter is a one time purchase. It seems like nowadays lack of headphone jack is just a minor inconvenience.

Wow. Nokia is fulfilling prayers now apparently.

In seriousness, this is a very promising device. I'll likely wait a bit after release before pulling the trigger on this phone, but honestly it's probably what I'm going to go with. As far as rooting goes, I suppose that's up to the XDA community to decide. The 2 year android updates is pretty short, I agree. But for the price, I think that it would be a good option regardless.

Thanks for following up on this as well!

The s23 looks appealing due to the integration of a pull tab for the battery as opposed to glue. I will look into this. Thank you.

This is definitely an option. However the past few years have not been kind as far as repairability goes, and that would be a must for a used phone. Newer phones are starting to add options for self repair but the majority are overkill for me.

Thank you for the suggestion!!

Fortunately, I have scaled back my paranoia over the past few years. However I would like to check exactly how much data collection is going on and how much I can remove in the settings and how much I can remove from the baked in stuff.

Thank you for the input!

I almost dismissed it but your enthusiasm is keeping it on my radar. Thanks!

The Xperia 10 V has expandable storage, and I have a microsd for my music so that is not an issue. I will look at the 10 III and form opinions on it today. eSim is not important to me.

Thank you for the information about LineageOS. I am unfamiliar with it, I thought it would be a good idea since I was using GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I liked it far more than any stock I've experienced.

I like the Zenfone specifications, but when I watched a teardown of it it appears to be a pain to repair. It will still be on my list, but I do not think that is what I will go for. Thank you!!

The storage limitation is a shame, but if it fits all my other criteria I could look past it. However, I question the durability and battery life of pixels. I have heard a lot online that pixels have bad battery life. And my pixel 5a had what I thought was adequate protection, but it failed to withstand a short drop. Despite these biases a used Pixel 6 / Pixel 6a is still on my radar.

I appreciate your input.

It's against the rules to post recommendation requests on !android@lemdro.id That is a good idea, however I have received far, far more responses than I expected to (I am new to lemmy and I have not really posted on social media) so for now I will abstain. Thank you for the comment!
