gollark: Except the PinePhone, I guess, which seems pretty good generally except for the likely lack of warranty and difficulty in obtaining it here in the UK.
gollark: I'm not aware of new phones with good custom ROM support, no ridiculous notch thingy, replaceable batteries, any durability at all, and reasonably sized (~5") screens.
gollark: I mean, I could get a notverysmartphone, sure, but I like being able to use highly advanced features like a "web browser".
gollark: Er, phones now, not phone snow. I don't know what phone snow is and I hope I never have to.
gollark: Its battery seems to have degraded almost to the point of uselessness by now, and it's nonreplaceable, so I've been vaguely looking into replacements, but it turns out that there are no good phone snow.
