gollark: OLED is kind of awful.
gollark: I mean internal ones or I would duct tape a battery pack to the back.
gollark: Also wildly expensive and with weird screens I dislike.
gollark: I'm going to need to replace my phone or figure out some way to swap the battery soon, but it seems like no newer phones actually have the features I want: removable battery, LCD screen, no notch, good custom ROM support, μSD slot.
gollark: It's pretty evil that they make you jump through so many hoops just to have some amount of control of the software on your phone.
