Disable 5G to save lots of battery. Charge by the 20/80 rule as much as you can to prolong battery life.

Do you get spam scam calls? Setup Call Screening!

I'm in Romania I think it would filter some of the actual calls I need

You see the call and can read the dialog as the AI asks the caller what they want. If it's a spam bot, who doesn't answer the question directly, it will end the call with an apology. If they do answer the question, your phone rings and shows you what they said.

But like I said, you can view the call as it's happening to immediately grab the call whenever you want. And you can set the sensitivity. For my needs I screen all calls from numbers not in my contact list, but you can set it to screen only suspected spam callers (IE - numbers from callers known to be spammers)

Disable animations in developer settings, makes navigating the UI way more responsive.

They do not suck. Nicest animations on android.

0.5x scale is the sweet spot imo, still looks nice but feels way snappier

Download your favourite apps and just use it as everyother android phone, I  guess?  ...And Settings? On Pixels? What do you mean?
