An Alternative
I was excited to get an update to my Yotaphone2 last weekend (thanks El Reg for the review last year); Android 5.0, don't mind if I do!
Hmm... Gallery has gone, WTF do I use to look at my photos? They ripped out a perfectly good app and replaced it with.... nothing! Google Photos didn't come down with the update, and wasn't on Play.
So I went with QuickPic. I'm a happy chappy, it even integrates with OwnCloud. So I'm sorted, and cloudy, and I've still got control of my data.
After reading this article, thank f*** for that. Perhaps the Russians who made the YotaPhone are slurping, for the FSB's intelligence data, but they are further away than the NSA/GCHQ, so I think it's the lesser evil). Come to think of it, no reason to think they are not all using crazy straws and drinking from the same data fountain, having a party, but again; meh.
On with life.
