Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:

  1. “I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!”
  2. “Well, money”
  3. “Companies need to support phones longer”
  4. “I just use LineageOS on that device”
  5. Misinformation

    Agreed. Now if only I could find a good device. I am very picky with hardware. I want a Motorola phone with a headphone jack and Lineage OS that works in the US.

    I will note that you need to do a complete wipe when changing Roms. It breaks random things in the OS

      High-tier Xiaomi phones usually have headphones jacks and really good hardware . I don’t know about lineage OS, but there’s a EU roms for Xiaomi phones that get rid of all their useless shit. The weirdest thing is that it’s actually a kinda-official custom ROM.

      nowadays, all the phones are pretty similar in terms of perf, unless you’re into mobile gaming/video editing/AI, it doesn’t matter. A 12GB Ram, 512GB phone is completely future proof. Heck, if there’s ever a desktop mode added on Android, it’s more than enough for 99% of regular computer usage.
