Yeah, I had a photo album back when I regularly used Photos, and for some reason the photos would be backed up and the older ones would stop loading on my device? Which was a problem as I don't have any cellular data. It still happens for some reason, even though I no longer have backup enabled.
The xperia is more expensive then what I would usually spend on a phone, but it is probably the only phone that still has all those things you mentioned, which are nearly all dealbreakers for me. (Asus zenfone why did you have to become big :( )
We used to get these but over the years the newer designs got cheaper and less well designed. It looks like they still sell the old designs though, so that's nice.
What's happening here?
