    How are you liking it? I’ve never heard of e/os before, it looks neat. How does it compare to lineage/ graphene?

    My camera is still great and still better than my partner’s newer iphone’s. No port wobble yet thankfully and I’ve never used an sd card anyway. This Note 8 is still great in every way so I have no reason to upgrade yet. I want to make it to 10 years at least.

    With e/os will updates eventually stop due to your phones hardware? Or can you keep updating perpetually? What I hate is being forced to upgrade a perfectly working phone because someone decided not to allow updates on it anymore and the app rot that follows.

    I haven’t used a rom this phone yet because I’m very attached to the stylus as I use this as my art tablet… so that’s the main holdout reason I have.

      I like it so far. In the words of Worf, it serves me. I definitely miss some of the settings I had available on my old phone, but this one is much snappier. The os is basically the same as normal android but without the builtin google garbage. I still have the android app store. I guess the main thing is since its a fairphone repair and battery replacement will be much easier so hopefully I can just keep it for a long long time.
