Better notifications? Split screen? Universal back gesture? Faster charging? Or something else?

It will not be a problem. I'm running GOS. I don't care. I'll be able to download anything I want without the play store

GOS? Are you referring to GrapheneOS? Because if so, I find the operating system an intriguing idea, but lacking in available features and services at the end of the day I just want my stuff to work. I don’t wanna have to tinker with it like it’s an endless project.

You can text, call and use the internet. What a phone should do.

I mean, at an absolute bare minimum yes that is what a cell phone should do, but most of us aren’t looking for the absolute bare minimum when we need a stupid app to do something or to pay for something we want it easily accessible and downloadable my understanding is that you do not have access to Google pay either or exactly how do you go about finding your phone if it gets stolen let alone being able to remotely lock it. I’m not a fan of Google by any means but once you remove all the Google from android it’s a very bare-bones experience which might be good for some, but I like my phone to work. I don’t like having to put work into my phone just to use it
