i'm not sure all those "installs on actual phones" in china are real - 107k installs all on the same device, vs ~30k installs on the next most popular device.

i'm not sure all those "installs on actual phones" in china are real - 107k installs all on the same device, vs ~30k installs on the next most popular device. and 150k devices on an unknown carrier. is the Xiaomi Mi 8 really that popular for lineageOS, or is this some measurement artifact or common emulation setup?
- darkwater 3mo agoI have an Mi 9 SE with Lineage and it's pretty well supported so the Mi 8 might just be as well...
- rickdeckard 3mo agoThe Xiaomi Mi 8 was the fastest-selling Xiaomi device of all time, it's estimated to have sold more than 20 Million units. It was so crucial to Xiaomi's userbase that they supported it with updates for almost 8 (!) years. So yeah, sounds feasible...
- ulfw 3mo agoLikely phones used in massive phone centres
- xbmcuser 3mo agoMi 8 has a very good camera and battery life I am guessing it could be used as live streaming phone in china so still useful despite being an older device
- GreenWatermelon 3mo agoMine is Mi 9T, and I've been running Lineage OS for years now. Its codename is Davinci and according to dtats, it has almost 2k installs.
