    It’s honorable that you struggle through 2013 Android, but using an internet enabled device that hasn’t received security updates in at least 7 years is a horrible idea.

    Upgrade to a Fairphone at least, so you can keep replacing parts while also maintaining a base level of security.

      He could be using a ROM with up to date security patches, I believe some phones from that era still have active custom ROM communities.

      I run Lineage Os 18 on it. (Android 11) with the latest security patch being from august 2023, so it’s pretty much up to date.
