Here's a new discussion for the /c/Android community!

Are you devoted to a particular Android device manufacturer, or do you relish experimenting across different brands?

πŸ” What drives your loyalty to a specific brand? Is it their consistent quality, exceptional customer service, or unique features? Let the community know what keeps you coming back for more!

πŸ’‘ On the other hand, if you're open to trying new brands, what motivates you to explore beyond your comfort zone? Is it the allure of cutting-edge technology, competitive pricing, or recommendations from friends?

I'm devoted to Sony, can't switch to anything else.. they're the only one watching all the features I care about

How's the software update support these days? I owned a few Xperia back in the day and that was a weak point at the time.

Security patches are out monthly less than a week after Google releases, OS updated are slower but have been getting better, only major downside is the lack of commitment to more than 2 years of OS, real kick in the shins for such an expensive phone but alas I'm a sucker for all it's other offerings

What features are those? Camera related?

Camera is nice and especially unique so that is a bonus, but for me it's the physical fingerprint scanner, SD card slot, headphone jack, front firing speakers, and no notch in a flagship from a reputable company, could drop several of those requirements and not find any options and this has all of them
