My trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bought in 2017 is bricked and now I must buy a new phone. What are the recommendations of the hexbear community for a replacement? I was satisfied with my elderly phone except that there was a lot of junk that came with the phone that I couldn't delete, and for the last couple years or so I've had to delete an app before I could add an app, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that, I was happy with it, so I don't need the newest coolest thing.
I've been buying Xiaomi phones for a while now, historically they've been a good value for the hardware in the midrange. On the high end they've got all the boondoggles. Outside the US there are Xiaomi stores everywhere. Something that has grown on me is their super fast charging, like they had one with 120 watt charging, mine is 67 watt and I can set it down for 30 minutes and pretty much have most of a charge.
