If you live in the US and want something on a budget, I recommend last year's Moto G Stylus 5G (the 2023). You can find it for around $250. For the price, you get:
Damn, that does sound pretty good. Is the OS pretty close to stock?
Can depend a bit on your carrier but yeah pretty close. Only issue is the security updates can be infrequent. I love Motorolas as work phones though, the twist motion to turn on the camera and the chop motion for the flashlight are super convenient for an IT guy doing lots of rummaging
Chop motion for flashlight and twist for camera is amazing. I wish I knew how to implement this on a non-Moto phone. It's gonna be painful switching away at some point.
I remember having issues with the chop motion once and my coworkers looking at me like I'm crazy.
Not my fault y'all settle for inferior products 😤
Now let me continue hacking at the air with my fragile handheld computer.
There are a few apps that let you do motion shortcuts, the issue I've found with them is that for whatever reason the apps consume inordinate amounts of battery waiting for the motion while the Motorola implementation seems to have no real energy issue.
Always remember, if the app is free, you're the product.
Just don't think about the implications for Lemmy too much.
