Every user who's Smartphone is neither one year old nor will be getting Version Upgrade

This 9gag/normie memes has to stop.

Am on lineageOS https://lineageos.org/

@Alice After buying Windows phone, i realized, stepping into a toilet would have been better

@jalebiBhai I am confused

@lahsen2016, cool will check it out!

@purpletoxicrain how

I used to use custom roms back during 2.x and 4.x days. Even got dirty and modified kernel and Android core. These days I don't really care. I'm on stock ROM, haven't unlocked or rooted. Sony is pretty quick with updates for now so my phone is not that out of date (8.0 on a year and half old phone).

apt remove 9gag

rooted != unlocked bootloader

🙄

You mean, this?

@Condor Everythings okay at condor ?

Lineage OS for the win

Does anyone know if any company has pledged to improve android updates for older phones?

As far as I know this is one of the last remaining issues with android.

@flag0 I'm with HTC 10. Still waiting for 8.0

@jalebiBhai nvm

Root is the king !

@purpletoxicrain that's the one with 820 right?

I got update last month and I already have an update which I guess is December patch waiting to be installed.

The only problem with this phone is battery. It's not bad and Sony has done great job optimising it but certain apps are power hungry beasts. I still get 5 hours on 2900 mAh battery. Now if it were 3400+ mAh, that would jump to 7 hr+. The best phone I've ever had otherwise

@flag0 cool.
Which Sony is it?
Always had problem with Sony UI.
How's the device overall? (Camera, screen, speed)

@purpletoxicrain XZ. The UI is more or less stock. It's just Sony apps (which I personally like).

As for the speed, it's good. It beats my SO in multitasking. Camera is phenomenal in good light but kinda OK-ish in low-light. The screen is 1080p but really accurate. You can get the bigger XZP for 4k screen. It also has the newer 19MP sensor that does much better in low-light. Or the XZs/XZ1.

In US, the have fingerprint disabled and updates are delayed. But if you live outside US, I'd highly recommend Sony.

@flag0 I'll take it into an account on my next device.
Thanks!
