I like my Galaxy S22. It's one of the few small phones out there. I stopped fussing with custom UI and just get a refurbished, unlocked carrier ones off of Amazon or some other outlet, they're relatively cheap now. You have to read over descriptions carefully though, I've been sent locked carrier ones before.
The market pigeon holes you into having to make a compromise. I wish we could still get phones with removable batteries.
But I thought free market magic invisible hand? How come no invisible hand?
