  • The pro is the one to get I'll tell you, unless you have a Z-Fold, in which case get the X2C (I think) that just released, that one's got the port on the left, meaning when unfolded it sits with the screen unfolded upwards.

    The standard X2 has buttons for the triggers, pro has travel. The joysticks aren't hall effect on mine iirc, but they're very accurate and it's surprisingly comfortable. You can also swap the ABXY around as they're magnetic button caps, and they're held in so well I need pliers to pull em. Only issue I've got is left on the D-pad is a little finicky and it makes combos a bit difficult at times on some games.

    You can mod the X2 pro so it stretches out and fits a 10/11" tablet but it'll stretch the springs out, or add fans if your phone gets a bit hot like mine under heavy load (I'll likely be adding a 30mm fan or two).

    I give it a 9/10, -1 for D-pad jank.

  • Made a comment in another thread the other day, but as a gamesir x2 pro owner the telescopic controllers are really good now too.

    I got the USBC one so no input delay or battery to recharge, cost me $100AUD, built solid and there are mod guides out there now (I'm gonna add a 30mm fan or two to keep my phone cool it can get a bit hot under heavy load.

  • I've not yet messed with backup, there's nothing on this phone I would miss if it were lost, stolen or broken.

    I do however have it's entire contents backed up manually to multiple locations, so even if the worst should happen, it would simply be a matter of transferring to a new device.

  • I have a second profile set up already, exclusively for Google play services and anything else I don't want on the main profile.

    I might make a third exclusively for work, but as it stands the second phone actually makes more sense in that regard in terms of taxation, simplicity of use etc. no faffing about with profile switching, just check which colour phone and then slam that fingerprint down on the sensor.

    I do however welcome suggestions, perhaps I should make a post rather than just lurking in the comments for once...

  • GrapheneOS user here, compared to my stock android pixel it's night and day, no sense of my phone spying on me.

    I use almost entirely FOSS on the graphene one, I now do most of my daily phone activities on the graphene, and use the stock primarily for work (I refuse to taint the graphene phone just so I can do my job).

    The installation was extremely simplistic compared to other custom android versions I've run. It was literally: plug in phone, click button, phone restarted itself, clicked another button, done.

  • All goods matey, I have yet to do the sensor, I was looking into custom firmwares the other night and found some cool stuff, however my ender refused to accept any updates to it's standard firmware, so I figured I'd ask here.
