Is it me or is the Pixel 9 hype very low? I feel like nobody is expecting much from it

I don’t think I’ve seen any hype for any new phone releases for a while. And that’s OK, the technology has matured a lot so there isn’t that much to get hyped about anymore. The foldable phones are pretty cool, hoping that they become affordable in the next decade!

It’s really getting in the way. I got a Xiaomi’s as a backup phone recently because on paper the specs were good. Well, the phone is fast, but the UI…

I got a Motorola next, probably going to resell the Xiaomi once I’m done migrating

HyperOS?

My phone runs MIUI 11 and I honestly found it very good , I had more problems with MIUI Battery optimization though , and battery draining to some extent

It’s probably the first and the last Xiaomi phone I’ll ever buy though

I only buy Xiaomi phones because the bootloader is unlockable. The stock UI is eh.

I have a Realme phone and it came with so much bloatware that I can’t tell. Dozens and dozens of purely unwanted apps that I had to disable almost all of them to get a decent experience.

For a short period of time, I thought about buying a Google Pixel phone to run Graphene OS on it , Google Pixel isn’t available in the local market, so I’ll have to buy it from abroad, and this comes with risks : not being able to benefit from the phone’s warranty , the extremely high costs of shipping the phone into the country, and the extremely high costs of making the device work on the local network legally As much as I would like to try Graphene OS, such risks are too crazy to take so I changed my mind or at least stopped thinking about it temporarily… who knows, maybe some local company will bring the brand to the local market one day due to competition with other local companies. The same competition introduced phones to the market that weren’t previously there: Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Infinix, Tecno, etc.

This risk seems high indeed, I wouldn’t do it either

I have an old asus zenfone 2 with the x86 processor. Has anyone tried turning it into a small server? It runs some whatever old android at this point, and I figure it could still run a thing or two.

Running a server out of a phone would probably shorten the remaining lifespan

I really wish I had the option to completely disable the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio since there are so many networks and it clutters up the list when I’m looking at it. If I could just turn it off and do five gigahertz only, my network’s list would shrink a lot and that would be a lot more helpful.
