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

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 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’m using a Nokia 7 plus, I’ve had it for more than 2 years now and it does everything I need. Android 10, great camera with Google camera application, fast (Snapdragon 660) and relatively cheap (was around 250 to 300 US dollars when I bought it over two years ago). I wouldn’t recommend buying one now new as you can probably get a better phone for the same price now.
