There’s some good point’s here, even the articles author seems to have doubt’s as to the validity of such devices where updates are concerned.
Putting all those aside for a moment, to me the silver lining is the ability to easily swap out a failing battery or charging port, especially if your a ham-fisted user who regularly rams the connection in. I’ve had no end of these fail over the years and more often than not, simply disposed of the device.
The other thing I miss from back in the day was the ability to disconnect the battery when a device gets frozen, it’s not resolving the underling issue but a great way to get things up and running again.
Filled out the survey, hope it helps.
Total Launcher on, Samsung A52S 5G, Android 14, has for the most part, been a good experience, for nearly Three years now.
Gestures are smooth but animations are a little clunky and the App exhibits some strange behaviour on occasions.
The Launcher’s quality seems to vary with manufacturer, some users report issues.
The sheer level of customisation is what keeps me on board, there’s no other Launcher on Playstore that offers the same level of finite adjustments.
