    They can pry my Galaxy S4 with removable battery and IR blaster out of my cold dead hands. (Thank you LineageOS, because Samsung dropped updates for it a decade ago.)

        I’m not in the market for a new phone at the moment, but that one does look awesome. I like phones that are a little bulkier rather than those super thin things you usually see nowadays that feel like they’re gonna snap in half if you forget it in your back pocket.

        Too bad the battery isn’t removable though, that’s the only bad thing I see with it. ( I know that’s a rare thing to find a phone that does, but one can dream lol)

          It is built for repairability and has accessible screws. I havent tried taking the back off yet tho. The right to repair attitude of the company is what drew me in too!

            Ok that’s pretty cool! I just saw in the specs that the battery wasn’t removable, but that’s sort of misleading I guess if you can pop it open with a simple screwdriver.

            My daughter might be getting a new phone this spring, I’m gonna have to talk to her about something like this one. Thanks!

      You’re still getting Lineage updates for the S4?! That one maintainer keeping your phone alive:

        To be honest I’m surprised too… official builds are done, but there’s still unofficial ones floating around. I expected everyone to give up on this thing by now, but the last update was Nov 16th (https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/jflteatt/builds)

        I’m happy they are though. The phone may not be very powerful by today’s standards but it does what I need it to.

      I miss my Galaxy S4… I had a blast running CyanogenMod on it. Ended up replacing it after ~3 years because I dropped it in the ocean (it mostly worked after I opened the back and cleaned it, all except the network card). Such a great device!

      I’m really pissed that my current phone (S23) now has a locked bootloader because of the newest OneUI update. Damn it, Samsung.
