Comment on So long, small phones
Nefara@lemmy.world 1 year agoYeah the older android version is what killed it for me really, as I would have even kept using it as a wireless device. I couldn’t install my preferred browser, email app, reddit is fun etc on it after enough years. I even rooted it and looked into installing a new version of Android on it but couldn’t haha. It was compact, comfortable to hold, but big enough to use an onscreen keyboard without much trouble and read text etc. I was really disappointed to learn that there just were no phones compatible with 4G/LTE running Android 8 and or higher that size, not even cheapie ones.

I managed to install lineageos on mine and extend its life for a few years, but the storage limitation was the bottleneck, as I had about 600mb for all my apps and data. I still used that device for a good while, even after buying another, because that size is so comfortable to me. It was so sad when if stopped working after emmc wear :(
