gollark: I'm also getting a 128GB micro-SD card so I can save a copy of Wikipedia in case I get bored and don't have an internet connection.
gollark: See, I've been at home for basically three months so my laptop and occasionally bad 2015 tablet work for most stuff, *but* next week we're apparently going to "Beadnel" so I need a usable phone for that.
gollark: ... no.
gollark: I haven't really needed it and I can chat with most friends on signal/discord anyway.
gollark: I *had* my *last* phone for about two years, but it broke last month.
