The FreedomPhone "PatriApp Store" is just a rebranded Aurora Store Posted: 15 Jul 2021 02:50 PM PDT HAHAHAHAHA. The so-called "uncensorable app store" called "PatriApp Store" on the FreedomPhone is literally just a rebranded Aurora Store (an OOS front-end for the Google Play Store). The phone itself appears to be an UMIDIGI A9 Pro Mishall also suspects it's [likely] running a LineageOS GSI Edit: This person has a Freedom Phone and it's definitely Lineage OS. They also showed off Google apps in the app store lol. submitted by /u/FragmentedChicken [link] [comments]

I'm going to miss my Zenfone 6. A Zenfone 6 appreciation thread Posted: 15 Jul 2021 08:11 AM PDT The camera broke on my Zenfone 6 and instead of trying to get it fixed by Asus (replacement flipping camera on a phone 2 generations behind) I ended up buying the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE on Prime Day. Switching to the Galaxy ecosystem just made me appreciate the Zenfone software/hardware more, and for how much I paid for it ($500) headphone jack Dedicated smart button that completely customizable. Had it so one-press changes audio profiles, long press locks screen orientation, and double-press to turn on flashlight. Similar can be done on the Galaxy power button but only for one function (double-tap) or long-press (activate Bixby [no thank you] or power menu) Minimal bloatware - got the Asus Data Transfer, Mobile Manager, Game Genie and...that's really it? Other than the hardware specific features. 5,000 mah battery - right now my S20 FE is getting terrible SOT out of the box. Zenfone 6 out of the box was around 7-8 hours of heavy use. Built-in battery management, including battery health, charging limits, slow charging, and scheduled charging. I wish this was standard. Notification light. I miss it. Notchless design because of the decent flip camera Definitely had drawbacks though - no wireless charging, no water resistance, screen's kinda "eh" (especially after using the S20 FE - OLEd+high refresh rate), software updates were kinda slow, and the camera often came loose requiring a button-press to pull it back and lock it in. Oh and when someone is video-calling me through Duo and the phone is camera-face-down it'll try to get the camera up and fail at it. But man it's a really good device for the price. I wish some of the functions were standard. submitted by /u/sniping_dreamer [link] [comments]
