With fewer phones including stand-out features, I’m curious to know what everyone thinks the best phone for an android enthusiast/power user is nowadays?
Your definition of a power user is obviously up to you, but I always thought of one as someone who experiments with third party apps, is open to flashing, sideloads apps, debloats, etc in order to get the most bang for your buck, and the first thing that comes to mind is the Pixel series (but what do i know?)
What do you all think?
I think it really depends what you value as a power user, many “enthusiast” features still need root access and that both limits your choice but also (almost) rules out utility features (that I, personally, view as a requirement nowadays) like Google Pay
If you’re looking for “big iron” apps like photo editing and midi sequencers then memory and speedy storage would be a requirement (many of the “gaming phone” models satisfy this)
