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?
Yes and no. It has coverage on multiple 4G and 5G frequencies.
Check the first link and see what frequency you need in your are and then check the second link to see if it is covered.
Where I am and where I mostly travel I need 5G band 71 and it picks it up beautifully.
