Dear lemmings:

If this is the Golden Lemmy Awards, then why does the winner recieve a Lemmy Silver?

Curious.

I donate my (honorary) award 🏆 to the real winners who made it happen: the people who upvote and post new content daily across this whole wonderful community:-).

And to Samsung I dedicate a different type of award 💩 for making a good fraction of the functionality on their phones so heavily dependent upon their privacy-intrusive tracking measures… except who am I kidding it is mostly my own fault for purchasing one of their devices in the first place! 🫠

Now we can all go read 👓 about that Fairphone, bc ngl it sounds kinda awesome!? 😎

I’ve seen a lot of people on the web being interested in acquiring a small size phone and/or a dumb phone and during my research I found about this Xiaomi subsidiary called QIN that have recently dropped what basically look like the best dumbphone "qin f22 (actually runs android unlike Nokia garbage dumbphones) " and the best small size phone (5 inches ) “qin 3” on the market.

I haven’t bought any of the above since I can’t currently afford any of them but I know quality when I see it, and I doubt a new company that only sell such niche products would want to destroy its image by sending bad products.

I am not affiliated in any way, just wanted to share the end result of my several days long search for a dumbphone to play java games again .
