    Sorry, but device recommendation is off-topic here. You might be interested in our sister site, Hardware Recommendations Stack Exchange, but please ensure to follow their guidelines to get the best device for your need.

  • Sorry, the community has decided that device/brand recommendation is off-topic here. Also, Android device recommendations are generally on-topic on HardwareRecs.SE, but we generally don't migrate questions if we are not sure if the question as-is written will be on-topic or not. Though, probably they don't accept broad questions like brand, instead of specific devices. If that's the case, then there's no Stack Exchange sites that may be appropriate. You can try other sites like XDA Forums, Reddit, or Quora though.

    Your edit was appropriate, so I decided to reopen it. Note that Stack Exchange is a strict objective/factual Q&A, thus opinions are generally discouraged. No hard feeling, but that's just what the Stack Exchange Q&A model is. If you want more open-ended discussions/opinions, then SE is really not the best site for this, and there are other sites out there that are more appropriate for this, like XDA Forums and Reddits.

I came across this while searching for a problem dealing with adoptable storage. While not a direct answer about adoptable storage, I know it's typically used to gain space on internal storage and wanted to note the alternative: "Force allow apps on external" still exists under developer options (close to the bottom). At least it exists in Android 11 on a Samsung A01. Once I got adoptable storage cleaned up/removed, I enabled it and was then able to move a few GB of apps/data to the SD card making the phone more usable again.

  • I'm not sure. I followed instructions here. Seemed to work in Android 10 (one screen in settings showed 80GB of storage and I could move some apps to the card). It freed enough space to update the OS to 11 and afterwards it basically crashed until I removed the SD-card. I then had to figure out how to undo adoptable storage and then tried again and it didn't work - always just showed 16GB in storage and while it gave me the option to move apps, it failed. Finally found the setting to force apps to SD which works OK-ish.
