Yes: good, continue.
No: hmm i might live.

- looks good?
Yes: OOHH MUCH BEAUTY, SUCH AWESOME, LET'S GO TO THE LAST ONE!!

    Yep. I have a Samsung A5.. sketchy root method that I found on some kid's YouTube channel worked. There is like 0 room support tho.

    But reading your last rant, it might actually be a good choice for you. (If you don't mind having to delete oem apps) I got it for free here in Canada. It is probably a reasonable price over there.

    @linuxxx Get smartphone that's powered by Snapdragon SOC as they have great Dev support due to Open-source support by Qualcomm!

    @PaddiM8 Absolutely the same for personal usage! For work I'd use it but then it wouldn't be my choice so yah :P

    nexus / pixel are the best for tinkering

    @dhanvi Fuck pixel because it's heavily Google integrated imo but they're both above my price range :/

    @linuxxx I feel the same about pixel but the Nexus 6P is reeeeally good. The modding is absolutely great as well. There are some really interesting stuff being developed for it, like copperhead. Oh and before I forget what's DDG, I assume it's a phone modding forum?

    @Jop- Well tbh iOS, android and WP are all pretty easily hackable. Next to that, it's my device so I would think I'd be entitled to decided what happens to it, on software level as well and for that i'd need root!

    Getting a remote access shell is too easy through either exploit kits/malicious apps on all platforms. Source: my experience with pentesting :). @wolt Also, how's riot working out for you? :D

    @linuxxx almost all phones can be rooted. I almost always end up with a Sony or Motorola as they offer an option to unlock your bootloader

    @kb88 pretty outdated. No more security updates. Not talking about OS or battery life after this time.

    @afrometal still using it with lineageOS (Android 7.1.2, pretty sure it will get Oreo too), there are regular security updates, battery life is still ok after ~3.5 years (and further improved through lineageOS) and performance is still better than on most actual non-flagship phones out there

    So many OnePluses and no Google phone... wow

    Btw I have an OPO... so it's only worth $100 now...

    Lineage is nice though it randomly reboots sometimes....
