    Still use and like my two LG devices, will be sad to see high-end audio and SD cards be even further reduced in mobile choices.

    If Linux mobile devices software does well this year perhaps it’ll be an OK time to make a switch, though I’ll find something else to fill the audio niche.

        Yeah I might go that or a similar route, I don’t use IEMs but mainly closed and open backed. I have a desktop dac/amp setup, but sometimes like to be able to go mobile. There’s some good options across all the price ranges, I just havent looked into them seriously since my phone still works well.

    If a phone company doesn’t offer phones with removable batteries, I have no sympathy for them.

    (Yes, that does mean I hate 99% of modern phone companies.)

      They were one of the last companies that did offer removable batteries, then they stopped doing it :( . I’ve had several LG’s and IMO their quality control was horrible. I’d get random restarts, crashes, ports not working, screen messups, bad GPS.

    lol, it’s sadly what they deserve.

    I’m still using my V20, the last great android phone (imo). I hate that android device makers gave up on being diverse and useful, only to embrace becoming crappy closed-off apple knockoffs.

    When this dies, I’m just getting something that runs a mobile linux distro.

    Maybe they should have tried to sell smartphones instead of the whole smartphone business.

    Using a V20 for work and a V50 as a personal phone this is really sad news for me. :(
