I don't need AI in my f*ing phone! It's just a phone, FFS!
Who uses their phone to be just a phone these days?
I’d say the phone part is the least used of my phone.
I never use the phone part of my personal pocket computer.
Raises hand — my phone is primarily for communicating with other people. When I want a computer, I have my desktop for that, or if it's too big to take with me then I'll have my laptop.
The only other thing it's commonly used for is music/podcasts. And once a week or so I'll take a photo.
Sure, I don't make as many voice calls as I used to, but text communication counts if you ask me - cell phones have had that feature since 1992.
If it's "just a phone", it's not running Android. No Android that I ever heard of is "just a phone".
What I meant is that I use it just as a phone (a bit more useful yes).
Calls, sms/messages/emails, music and some pictures rarely.
That's it.
Then you can save a lot of money next time and buy something like a Nokia 2760. It does all of those for like $30.
I think I’d like it
Honestly the worst part of my phone is the phone itself.
Dropped calls, bad audio, spam.
It's more of a texting/camera/notepad for me
