I'm in the market for a new smartphone, as my Motorola One Vision from 6 years ago is getting long in the tooth (cracked screen, < 12hr battery). Requirements: Android, 128GB storage space minimum, dual sim (both physical), decent camera, “as stock as possible” (no/minimal unwanted shitty pre installed apps I can't remove).
Preferred price range: 200€ to 300€.

FWIW I do plan on getting this one repaired (battery and screen replaced), but I need to have a functional one available both while this is under repairs and in case the repairs go wrong.

@oblomov I suspect it might be out of your price range, but I use a Fairphone 5. Fairphone 4 might be usable for you - there's plenty on the secondhand market. Repairable, fixable - even the battery is replaceable by just unclipping the back cover and pulling it out. Online repair guides and spare parts on the manufacturer's website. There are others like this from other manufacturers, I gather. My one has the latest Android, but no Google account on it (use Fdroid and Aurora store for updates).

@UkeleleEric I'm afraid I need the Google crapola (for banking and digital signature stuff)

@UkeleleEric also AFAICS it's not dual sim

@oblomov Saw a test in a paper magazine about budget phones and this one https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_edge_50_neo-13224.php was their winner. Seems to tick at least some of your checkboxes.

@regendans oh that's an interesting one, quite comparable with my current one, better in some other. From the specs it would seem that the lack of a 3.5mm jack would be the only big annoyance.

@oblomov it takes 1 physical SIM and 1eSIM.

@UkeleleEric yeah, I should have clarified that I'd need it to take 2 physical SIMs.

@virtuous_sloth @hub @cheeaun no idea!

@aizuchi @kevingamin @alice oh, but, also guitarists, like synth players, like physical knobs for everything. One pedal per function fits in a guitar players brain better than buttons and inscrutable little LCD screens with pages of options and a computer or phone app.
I mostly use regular single function pedals and tube amps, even though I know I could get less noise and more effects from a multi-effects unit or amp for a lot less money.
Monkey brain likes what it likes.
-
@aizuchi @kevingamin @alice I mean, the amps are still a little limited by their budget. It costs money to make high quality physical stuff, like a speaker. But, even that's gotten better over the years, and their current and previous generations sound quite good.
Another element is a whole generation of players started on a Line 6 back when they weren't so great, so they feel like they have to "graduate" to more expensive stuff. But, it wouldn't pain me to gig a Line 6 Spider or a Catalyst.
-
@aizuchi @kevingamin @alice a bunch of reasons. It's always been a value brand rather than a boutique brand...there was a time when "low cost" and "quality" didn't really fit together in a digital multi-effect unit. The early POD and Spider models sounded pretty cheesy. But, compute keeps getting cheaper, so they can cram really powerful DSP into cheap devices now, and they've gotten better at the software and modeling side in the 30 years they've been doing it (again, they were very early).

@hub Yeah.
I knew the edits were recorded/visible, I just found it interesting to see one played back "live". Up until now, I've only seen it update slowly like replies etc come in.
I'd be interesting in knowing how it happens (does the client stay connected to my server and the server offers up edited updates when such a connection is maintained?).

@swelljoe @kevingamin @alice why no respect? I mean, i understand that guitar heads have Opinions (tm)
