Me looking at all the flags on the left of the peers table 😀

Those were both my picks for a phone after mine started getting old. I started looking to buy the zenfone during the whole OEM unlock predicament, and it wasn’t available in my region, so I didn’t go for it. I then also discovered the Sony xperia 5 v, but it was out of my budget (although it’s definetly my dream phone.) RIP my galaxy s10e, best small phone out there fr 🕊️

Yo. I was in the same position as you were a month ago. I had a smallish (5.7in) phone from 2019, which I loved for the compact size and the headphone jack. I was planning on keeping it forever, but the company ended software updates for it around 2 years back and it does not allow for bootloader unlock. I was really planning to continue to use it, but eventually my value of privacy overcame my value for compact phones with headphone jacks, so I bought a used Pixel. The truth is, you get used to the large screen pretty quick. Wish I could have kept the old phone, but sometimes you just gotta make a tradeoff.

This is exactly the type of thing I love.
