That's right, my android still has a food related name. Step aside losers
My Samsung J7 is old enough to go to elementary school and is as snappy and functional as the day I got it. Haven't had a phone in more than half a decade.
I also have a functional Samsung S5 booted with android 12, courtesy of Lineage OS
Yeah!
It gets a bit hot tho, so I'm using it on battery saving mode with low specs, and I cannot have it in my pants' pocket for too long or it crashes. But it does work.
yeah, its mostly all the garbage they bake into the stock roms.
remember laptops, where they were expected to need a reformat out of the box? same for phones but the process is much more complicated and locks you out of banking apps.
