Did you say this to support parents argument?
The Galaxy S5 was one of the most popular phones and I especially bought it some years ago, because LineageOS support was supposed to be good. And it did run kind of ok, but certainly not "as snappy as a modern device just bought from the store".
- realusername 3y agoThe S5 is certainly not a popular phone in 2023 anymore, it's close to 10 years old. And no, it does run as snappy as a modern device with the latest Android flashed to it, I can make a video if you don't believe me. Ironically it's even faster now in Android 13 than it ever was during its prime era.
- kaba0 3y agoWe are talking about old devices, and you brought up a former flagship from the biggest android manufacturer. You definitely would have much less luck with a random huawei.
- realusername 3y agoSure, it's a former flagship but it's also an old device at almost a decade old
- hutzlibu 3y agoI have one lying around with LineageOS. It is not snappy by any metric, that I would use. Otherwise it would be still in use.
- realusername 3y agohttps://youtube.com/shorts/zroP_xg7Bg4?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/zroP_xg7Bg4?feature=share You can have a look here on how it looks like for me, I do consider it snappy
- hutzlibu 3y agoYou mean because the native UI opens quickly, it is a snappy devide? How does browsing works?
- realusername 3y agoBrowing is okay, nothing to say really, it's as fast as you would expect. Apps are opening quickly, animations are fast, typing doesn't lag, yeah I do consider that snappy. Sure if you start a game, it will just destroy the poor gpu and the camera is garbage by today's standards but that's expected.
