And here I am with my S4 running lineage Os (android 11)

Phone is on its third battery but doing fine, and does everything I want it to.

That's awesome

Wow, I commend you! I replaced my s5 3.5 years ago because it was feeling very sluggish, I can't believe what is like using an s4 with modern apps!

I'm still using my S5.

I still have four new replacement batteries. I expect another 4-6 years with it.

I actually find it's less sluggish with android 11 than it originally was... but then again I don't have a lot of apps on it, mainly firefox, Rethink (firewall), Voyager (lemmy frontend that uses firefox), Adaway, and a few other ones. I don't have any games or anything on it, I only game on my pc anyway.

The bloatware that it originally came with did nothing for performance, that's for sure.
