Conor MurphySo I wanted a phone for work purposes (I am a contractor so was up to me), to put #companyportal and all the #ms #crap on and save my personal #fairphone from being tainted. I went for the #poco X8 pro Max as I ranked by battery capacity in my budget and this maxed out for both. So far in the few days I have been using it the battery life and standby has been very impressive much better than my #fairphone5 however, holy crap is it bundled with so much #bloatware /1
There was also a crap load of shitty games pre installed I would say well over a dozen apps between those two. There was also a lot of #OEM #bloatware from #poco #xiaomi I used #canta from #fdroid and uninstalled an additional 37 apps between #Google and OEM bloatware. It needs #shizuku to be installed and that needs some #developer #options jiggery pokery to be done. But the end result is a phone that can handle all the #work stuff with excellent #batterylife /2
