Basically the title.

And how important do you really think Android version updates are. I don’t use my phone for a lot more than podcasts, instant messaging, and occasional browsing on Firefox mostly with JS disabled and ad-block on. I have a 3 year old Android 7 device that looks and works just fine and see no reason to upgrade

Huawei Y6. Cheap as hell and does everything a phone is supposed to do. And apparently it sends all my info directly to the CPC, so that’s pretty cool.

My $50 Huawei is still rocking after two years of abuse. Battery is still good but Ibelieve the NSA spyware google puts in it slows it down more than any Chinese backdoors . Just hope someone is listening to me scream into the void at this point.

I used to be one of those “Get a new phone every year with the upgrade” kinds of people but I’ve been very happy with my One plus 7 for a while now, pretty much any phone made in the past couple years has enough decent specs that there’s no reason to really upgrade. Maybe replace the battery every couple years and you are good.

I really want to move to Lineage or a custom rom without google services bs but they’re deliberately fucking with safetynet so that custom ROMs don’t run it, which means i’d be locked out of my banking apps. ugh

I’m awaiting my PostmarketOS Pinephone CE. I don’t think it will be a daily driver for a while, but I’m trying very hard to get out of the Android/iOS ecosystems.

Currently using a Galaxy Note 9.
