why would you choose any of the asuses?

"nicely built", and "sleek design" are not positives, but made up qualities. That's basically a goal for all phone manufacturers

"good AI features". sorry what? do they mean the power button opens the assist lant instead of the shutdown menu? or that the device sends home an order of magnitude more information about you than usual?

"ultra portable"? what the fuck does that mean for a fucking smartphone?

and "univeral fast charging" means it's glued in battery will wear out ultra fast.

buy a pixel if you don't care about keeping it for a long time, and about having a removable battery. otherwise get a fairphone

fairphone

their site doesn't seem to have US as an option...?? what am I missing?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The newest fairphone doesn't have a US distributor yet. The last gen one does

Unfortunately I think it's the same situation for their earbuds, which is what I'm wanting.

Sites so stupid you know some weren't even build by AI, just there to sell ads into your brainhole - and those ads will rot your brain less than the actual site "content".
