Moto G100 on android12

Motorola has one of the worst software update support schedules so mine won't get another version.  When security updates stop I'll switch over to LineageOS

Note 10+, Android 12. Still fully happy with it after over 2 years. I feel no urge to upgrade.

Android 9 because I'm still using a Galaxy S8+ after 4 years

I just ordered a refurbed Galaxy S20 FE though, which has Android 12 I believe.

I can't see myself spending more than $200 on a phone.

Historically Motorola is pretty good. If you want terrible grab a Razer Phone. I love my Razer Phone 2 but it basically wasn't supported from day 1.

I disagree, historically Motorla is known to be a horrific: 1 update and 1 additional year(quarterly) security updates.  I bought the G100 knowing that because I like the hardware and LineageOS was sure to support it.

I've never had an issue with LineageOS in the past, and CalyxOS is only for Pixels.  Similar to GrapheneOS.

I really enjoyed Lineage while I ran it, on Graphene for a few years now, generally works well.  One thing I always forget to do is enable the microphone before calling someone.

One of the problems u might encounter by neckbearding an antique phone is that some apps (for me, specifically a banking app) will no longersupport the old version of Android you're using.... primarily BC of security updates.

The reason that I kept the phone that I mentioned in my post for so long is that I don't do any business with my smart phone, not even email.

Being brutally honest, I have a work issued IPhone 11 with IOS 16.3.1, and my personal phone is an ancient Galaxy S10e with Android 11.  Having used both, I can’t stand how non-intuitive, and how big of pain it is to do some things on the IPhone, compared to ease of use of Samsung and Android software.  If given a personal iPhone for free, I’d still spend money on another Galaxy platform with Android.

Agree with this 100%. I tried switching to iPhone because several family members have them. I expected it to be different. I did not expect it to feel like I was taking several giant leaps backwards in technology. It was truly surprising.

I forced myself to stick with it and hold out for a while, but eventually the limitations caused me to tap out. Went back to my old, beat up Galaxy, and then purchased a new Android phone. Lesson learned.

Check out the Pixel 6a, it's $299 right now and is pretty consistently available at that price. The 7a is coming soon and will replace it and won't see a discount for a while.

Yesterday My phone updated to the Android Version 12.  Has some additional cool features, some IDGAS about.

My first Android phone was 4.4  LOL  damn - a lot has changed since then.  

ETA: Should say I have a Moto one 5G Ace - had Android 11 on it when I bought it a year ago. Also: my phone is Verizon prepaid - super deal.

I went from an S9 to S13 ultra and damn I'm surprised by the big leap. The camera far superior to anything in the mobile devices. I was blown away by the zoom. Objects a mile away looks like your you're right there.

There has to be an update from the OEM available to force, or 3rd party ROM support...   Cheap brands don't tend to offer any OS update versions or security updates
