If you prefer Android devices, always seek out phones whose bootloader can be unlocked so that you can install another OS on it. This way, you can be assured of Android fork / ports being available for the phone even if the manufacturer stops releasing updates. I highly recommend Sony Open Devices - https://static.developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/supported-devices-and-functionality/ https://static.developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-s... ... Or checkout the list of supported devices that can run LineageOS (a popular fork of Android) - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
- drpixie 4y agoUnfortunately, the Sony Open devices seem to be hard to get (at least in Oz). I use LineageOS but there it's only available for a limited set of devices :(
