I use Android with Snapdragon processors to be able to unlock bootloader and flash a custom ROM. This allows me to get Google goodies, even those which current Pixels and any other device, be it an Android or an iPhone, lack. For example: Unlimited original quality photo and video uploads to Google Photos. Regarding your bubble situation, as others have already chimed in, non-US peeps just don't care about it.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I convert all my friends to switch to Signal. If they like blue, then let's go there. E2EE and easy to use
I live in south korea, and YES. My friends say its a dealbreaker, although Idk the reasons.
I switch to signal with my android friends, vanilla SMS is rough, particularly for group messages

I've never seen any blue or green bubbles. What messenger are you talking about? Will you really tell me there are actually people out there, using a basic built-in messenger ... for 90's SMS or MMS?
The problem is that in the Apple cosmos the messaging app doesn't use SMS or MMS, so people use it to communicate quite a lot. Once you use it to message someone on Android though it reverts back to SMS/MMS. Same is true for group chats. 5 apple users are fine, but if you add a sixth person that uses Android the whole chat group goes back to the 90s. Including super pixelated images etc.
It's a stupid system designed to keep people in the Apple sphere.

I’ve never seen such a thing in my life, but then again where I’m from even iPhone users barely use iMessage
If that's a dealbreaker for sb, i would have to think about if it's a dealbreaker for me that they think that way
Fuck em. We all think it's stupid as fuck when you "likes this post"
For teens probably might be a dealbreaker.
For adults, mate webjust want to skip the small talk on slack or whatever app your corporate uses.
