Comment on What Phone do you guys use?
DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 6 hours agoSadly, the Signature is yet another victim of ‘innovation’. I have no use for a device that is doing the exact same as everything else at that price range. I’d sooner grab the Edge 60 Stylus, despite the significantly worse CPU.

I have a Samsung S24+ and the Moto Signature is better value.
The screen has a higher brightness, smaller bezels, higher PWM frequency and much higher brightness. It also has 90W charging and a flatter speaker response with more bass and midrange. All of those are compared to my phone, not your much older Note 9.
The GrapheneOS models are coming out next year, though they say it will be top of the range phones first. Whether that includes any below the Signature I don’t know.

It sounds like those features mean a lot to you. Especially brightness, apparently. But they mean little to me. I have no use for fast charging so long as the battery has enough capacity to last between charges. Smaller bezels mean nothing when the camera leaves a massive hole in that larger screen. I already own a high quality DAP, so I don’t need top of the line audio, just something I can quietly listen to quietly on my studio-spec headphones. And despite brightness being so precious to you that you felt compelled to name it twice, I work nights, am nocturnal and my eyes are sensitive to light. Additional brightness means nothing when I never need it above 50%. I need utility, not boardroom-approved statistical refreshes.
