I keep phones for two years, or try to anyway. Later this year I will hit that two year mark, and rather than excitement at the idea of getting a new phone, I find myself thinking that there's nothing out there that excites me at all. And also, my current phone is in no way deficient. It doesn't hold a charge like when it was new, but that's totally normal, and as degraded as it may be, it's still not a problem at all.

A powerful phone with a snapdragon and 6 or more GB of memory, that measures under 5" and doesn't have some bullshit OEM skin on it. To my knowledge, it doesn't exist.

    It can if you compile your own Android ROM
    Or if it does support Lineage OS

    I don't know about changing phones, the last phone I used was Alcatel Flash 2, it survived for 3 sweet years before battery dead.

    Do you know of any models that meet the rest of the qualifications? Because I doubt even that exists.

    @bahua You're asking the wrong person tbh, I'm not really into mobile phones, I use anything that can get me access to WhatsApp and internet browsing

    My phone, most of the time, is running on a small power bank (have a couple of them). It has been 1.5 yrs n my phone's original battery is in pretty good condition.

    @irene I could think of this as only "cost effective" solution to convert my phone having a 10000 mah battery, lasting 2 full days of continuous use without bothering to charge.

    My old phone is a Huawei P9, which for being made in 2016 is an outstanding unit, but it uses a kirin CPU, which isn't great for custom roms. That said, it's an excellent fallback, if I was to accidentally smash my Asus.
