    I’m still rocking a 2017 phone, courtesy of lineage.

    People are shocked how fast it is, not because it’s old (they don’t know), but because it’s faster than anything they have.

    Bloat, apps running for no reason, really slow a phone down.

      It felt this way for me for my last Samsung S10. Their android become an unusable mess, bloated to the brink,so I switched it to Lineage. It felt like a different phone.

      That phone alone determined me to go for Pixels which allow relocking bootloader with custom roms.

        Yea, Samsung was my last device that caused me to switch to AOSP and now Lineage.

        Had Moto before that which was pretty good, far less bloat.
