Thinking my next phone may be a Samsung. Had one before, was good. Non US. South Korea has decent relations with Canada. Good hardware. Popular models, so should continue to have decent options for rooting and installing a de-bloated OS.

My phone needs are pretty typical.

Fire away on your takes.

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca I've been a Pixel person forever, because Pixel would save my photos for free forever and that was nice. But it turns out they don't do that past Pixel 5 anymore, so it's probably time to move away from the Pixel forever and ever.

I will be paying attention to this.

Non US phone is not something I had to think about before but I guess that's my new reality too.

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social I have a Pixel now, but am degoogling.

My Pixel does not get free photos storage. My photos need to sync into my own storage, which then gets an encrypted backup to a generic and easily replaceable cloud storage provider.

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca @PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social I use an app called foldersync on my Samsung. It backs up folders to my own NAS as long as Wi-Fi is on and it's plugged in overnight. You can use other upload points but the feature I love is I can turn off delete sync so if I delete a big video file just simply because I'm running out of space it's still backed up where I want to keep it long term.
