      Is ADB faster than MTP (the thing that android does by default when connecting over USB)?

      QRCP is also pretty neat. It boots up a local http server to send/receive files and shows a QR code pointing to it. Works on android via termux as well!

        MTP is awfully slow on my Nokia G20 at least. OTOH, it has a uSD slot so I could just pop it out and transfer that way.

        $150 phones are better than $1500 ones.

          Couldn’t agree more lol. fLaGsHiP phones are such a scam. I got my current phone for like 300 euro: It’s built like a tank, has a headphone jack, a microsd slot, unlockable bootloader, no camera bump, and if the usb port becomes damaged, I can just order a new one from the manufacturer and replace it using a single screwdriver. Meanwhile mainstream phones focus on bullshit gimmicks that nobody cares about like 5g, more cameras, glass back, “AI”, thinness to inflate the price tag.

            The biggest reason for flashghip phones is the camera quality and performance.

            Thinness is also appreciated by most even if I don’t know if flagships target that anymore.

        Yes, at least for every device I had in the past 6 years. By a lot actually
