Who determined Sony is the best for android? Gotta be some asian millenial faggot on youtube with 500k subs.

I can say that Samsung has sadly just blindly followed whatever apple has done over the years and are now bloated with their crappy apps you cannot delete. The same with their TV's.

Sony makes smart phones?

I've never had any of those issues on any android phone I've ever owned. I blame your phone or its user.

Google has sadly added abusive restrictions to their operating system, especially regarding file management.

Scoped storage is iOS-tier witch craft.

I used to be what one could describe as fan boy. Not any more, since a long time.

Google should not be surprised about update hesitancy and rooting among users, if they abusively restrict user freedom.

The forced updates piss me off. Oy vey if you don't accept this security update a hacker might steal your dick pics! Then you would have to like... do a 2 minute factory reset!

Maybe look into Purism https://puri.sm

Their focus is on security and doing updates that increase efficiency of software.
