It could have been if it wasn’t for that inneficient crap exynos

Check out the old Galaxy W Series

If this takes off the Xbox handheld will be DOA and Microsoft once again looses a very lucrative market due to pure incompetence.

You have been able to do this on Android for a while using Termux, Proot Distro and VSCode Server. I even did it once to host two Angular Frontends on Android to free up Memory form my main latop running the backend.

Guess we are making Motorboat engines now

I’d rather have these than any mediatek helio A22 device

Its not. I’m writing this on a Note 8 with Android 9. It can run 99% of Apps on the Playstore, has an up to date browser and even gets access to new features like Google Lens, Gemini or Quickshare. Would it be nice to have Android 14? Yes. Does it need Android 14? eh not really.

Now watch that drive

With a romanian license plate

people with AMGs and BMW Ms drive that on the autobahn.

This is what I envisioned with “foldables”.

yeah great, EDL mode still is exists…

They still make Tablets? I have one from like 2016 that isn’t even horrible.

do whatever you want

Marketing and availablity. Unless you watch Phonereviews you probably have no idea these phones exist.

no I don’t

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. If I understand it correctly, there is no way to really prevent these Apps from “running” in the background, although “running” just means they sit idle in memory 99.9% of time and don’t do anything unless a broadcast event they are subscribed to gets fired and then they are permitted to do small task.

So I guess the most likely issue is that either something else on the phone is causing this drain or that some App constantly gets restarted (which is expensive) for some reason instead of just staying idle in memory.

thanks, I will give the work profile route a try since I’m not aware of any ways to root my phone (LG G8X)

I have done that but there are certain Services like my Bank or Phone provide that require me to installiert their App. Also with others - Kleinanzeigen, the mobile website is horrible and thus kinda force me to use the App.

in the case of the Microsoft copilot app, yes obviously, but there are some Apps which I need like for my bank.
