Comment on Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024

- worn out battery that probably wont charge fully or last another 2 years
- outdated OS that wont get security updates
I’m 100% all for keeping old phones running for many years, but buying a note 9 in 2024 is not how to go about doing that

… Unless you put your own OS on it? Think that’s still possible in 2024, right?

even that will be out of date. when the oem stops updating a device, there’s only so much custom roms can do

That’s assuming you even can. I do not believe Snapdragon based Samsungs can be rooted/rommed.

Well you’re wrong tho, I have a S22 and rooting it was a piece of cake same as flashing a custom rom👌
