Gestures is the only way forward, I feel.

Once you learn them they are fast, simple and highly efficient.

The 3 buttons navigation feels like what we had to use in the past so that it would be easier for anyone to use.

However, I feel like the buttons are a very primitive way of doing things

Maybe for Java but Python does have Flask, which is anything but bloated.

Django, from what I heard, may be a bit bloated, but, from what I heard at least, it has some very useful tools

I currently have a Fairphone 4 device.

Hard to say about loyalty, since this is the only time I can say I've personally been attached to any particular phone brand. And if their device will prove to be very badly designed then I'll obviously go back on my decision.

I guess what I like about them is their stance on various social issues, like the sourcing of raw materials that go into manufacturing a modern smartphone, and how they commit to improving themselves based on that.

For example, they talk about forming the Cobalt Fairtrade foundation, in the hopes of promoting the ethical sourcing of the cobalt that goes into your phone's battery, so that it doesn't involve child labor.

Or how they claim to pay factory workes a better wage that most other manufacturers, even though this can only be achieved by overpricing their own phone, which makes it less attractive.

Granted, you really have to care about this stuff yourself to become invested in the company because the phone itself is very bland and, otherwise, quite overpriced

Fairphone 4. What I like about it is it's modularity and the fact that you can find spare parts for it on the official store, to order.

What I dislike about it is it's thickness and weight

If you ask the compiler, it will only spit out a nonsensical wall of garbled mess

As a fairphone 4 owner, I can vouch for them.

Yeah, their hardware is pretty bland and unimpressive but sometimes a boring phone is a good choice for some people.

The Fairphone 4 doesn't have a headphones jack, nor does it have wireless charging. It also only has 1 SIM slot (I think it was micro-SIM: either that or nano-SIM, I can't remember) but it also supports e-SIM natively, so that you can have two phone data plans simultaneously: one with a physical SIM and one with an eSIM.

It also works quite well and it allows you to unlock thebootloader using an automated online tool, where you have to provide the serial number and some other number on the phone box.

Also, the battery life is quite decent, and it supports fast charging
