Burgr, 08 Mar 2023The phone has reached the end of its lifeAt this phone, every phone with Snapdragon 801 is no longer supported. Even OnePlus One, a widely popular smartphone among the custom ROM community, no longer see support beyond Android 11.

    Took me some research to find that Android 10 is now officially EOL. Its final security patch update was in February 2023*. That said, you can manually flash Android 11-based LineageOS 18**.

            The phone has reached the end of its life

              Honestly spectacular.

              I'm eagerly waiting for them to expand to other territories. These phones are definite buys.

                  Thats good.

                  But I wonder if updating is always necessary?
                  When I use low end device I dont want update, makes everything slower.
