This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Has more bloatware than samsung and more spyware than facebook. Not the person you talked with first, but I also have a xiaomi and it's borderline unusable if you don't use adb to uninstall some of the ad shit. They throw ads on gallery, video player, music player, wallpaper, calculator, file browse.
Did you get one of the really cheap ones? I have heard they are cheap for a reason (e.g. they get the money from elsewhere, AKA selling you).
I wish that was a problem exclusive to the cheaper phones or even xiaomi. I've had a Samsung Galaxy S20, it came with so much fucking bullshit apps. My gf and her sister both have a mid-high xiaomi (dunno about the specific model), ads are every-fucking-where.
sounds pretty bad, is it compatible with android apps?
it's android, so it's fully compatible
ah i see, does it not integrate with google play services by default or something?
It does, the international version comes with google play and the store and everything, it's a typical android phone like what you get from motorola or samsung, with a custom UI and lots of bloatware
oh, okay, thanks - wonder why that other guy acted like it was some kind of gotcha when he replied
Probably a "Notes" xiaomi (or cheaper even), cheap and with publicity. I have the "flagship killer" (whatever that means) and there is 1 publicity in the file manager. I use FX so I don't care personally.
If you tinker a minimum (like installing an app) it's extremely well worth the money compared to samsung or worse, apple. IMO.
i dont think we are talking about like, phone performance so much as the level of evil associated with the corporation provided by the platform, i use grapheneOS which is degoogled android because google is super evil, and apple is evil too, but they're a minor evil by comparison to google
Don't you have to buy a phone from google to use graphene though?
you need a pixel for the time being, but that'll be changing soon. i got a second hand pixel that was two versions older than the latest to mitigate that as much as possible
