My mediatek phone from 2023 does not support :(
That’s disappointing. Considering, its IP68 rated. I have a samsung from 2022 the fingerprint side button still works fine.
They have improved the update policy. So, newer phones get more updates compared to before. The VII gets 4OS, and 6yrs security updates.
Expensive processors, rising storage costs. Everyone had to make some downgrades to accommodate the price.

Its not.
No, problem! We all have to do our part.
There’s work being done on that front. If you are able. Maybe, you can contritube something too

This is from the support page for Motorola G 2026. You can see it will receive security updates until 2028. The page lists android 17 as next OS update but no guarantee for android 18 and 19.
Note: Page was translated by firefox original page is in german language.
I have stopped arguing and just move on.
People are hesitant to install apps. But, when you do install it for them. They delete them immediately thinking its useless and and will waste battery for no reason.
More like cross platform local wifi based file, clipboard sharing app.

It’s the longest lasting battery in a phone in the world. No phone lasts longer without a charge
You forgot Oneplus 15 with its 7300mah battery. It has nearly twice the endurance of this sony smartphone.
Fairphone is a good recommendation, alongside being repairable and sustainable. If its not present in your region. Look into high end Motorola phones (low-end have bloat).
IMO, Best would be a oneplus. You can remove any ads and bloatware with Shizuku, Canta. It will be familiar, reliable, and last a long time. Considering, your usage habits.
(i’ve seen the horrors of redmi software and want to stay as far away from That as possible).
Yeah, they start to lag within a year of use. All the redmi phones I have checked have lag issues. If you must buy a xiaomi skip the redmi. Don’t know about poco. But, anything not Mi should be avoided. Xiaomi charges a premium for its Mi series for a reason.
Great! I too use Adguard on my phones. But, I suggest a foss DNS filter app to others. Because, not everyone may be comfortable with a paid closed source app.
Well, this is what I see on the german Motorola website. Text translated by firefox translation.

A55 is an super midrange smartphone. I have a A22 5G. The software did have bloat but no ads.
Even if the A55 does include some of that. You can install Shizuku, and Canta to remove any unnecessary apps from the phone itself.
Another thing you can do is install PersonalDNSFilter from Fdroid or Playstore to block trackers and ads.
Yeah, welcome verified apps on PC.
