So who do we think? It's not Fair phone and it sounds like it's not oneplus. I'll be needing a new phone within the next couple of years, if they roll it out soonish

I mean those are the first two I'd suspect too. Maybe Sony or Pico? They're both pretty dev friendly.

Sony is sooooo expensive though…

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They said it'd be on par with a Pixel, so either a reasonable Sony or not Sony..

The Sony xperia 10 VII has a micro SD slot and a 3.5mm port so I'm hoping Sony too.

Edit: looks like the OEM selected doesn't have compatible phones today but would in 26'

I’ve completely forgotten that Sony makes phones also, but this phone is great on paper. So much so that, next year, when I will be switching back to Android from an unfortunate ios hiatus, I will definitely consider one (maybe viii? ). Thanks for reminding me.

Yeah, but the cpu sucks…. How can I justify to myself going from an iPhone 11 to something with a worse cpu

[–] SteakSneak@retrolemmy.com 8 points 1 week ago

Praying from this end of my Sony xperia

They are called HMD now.

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I actually think this could be it. Nokia has always been a little adventurous with their operating systems, and I think they are eager to claw back their old reputation.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's not.

Have a friend who works at a decently high position here in Finland and they actually are considering exiting the smartphone market all together because the margins are too small and they make easy more money on other things, like 5G equipment. They kind of want to move past being associated with phones basically.

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Nokia just extended their existing contract with HMD for several years. Doesn't seem like they're going anywhere in the foreseeable future.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Thank Microsoft.

I'd love an HTC again
