I am so glad that the USB people got USB C right... I have so many memories of the micro-USB ports on my old phones being the most absolute asinine garbage.
I remember seeing my very first USB C port in 2015, it was on a friend's new Google Nexus 6P phone, and we were sitting in a hotel room in Florida somewhere... I ended up buying a 6P in August 2016. it was my first smartphone.
What phone do you have? It's nice to see people who keep their phones around. It's crazy how much progress was made in the phone world from ~2015 to 2019, but my phone from 2021, a similar 4 year age gap, feels just the same as phones made today. Truly a massive plateau.
Also, 2019 being 6 years ago is giving me serious vertigo lol
It's a Redmi Note 8T. Hardware-wise there is nothing wrong with it. Even the battery is still decent, though it does drain a bit faster now of course.
Software, on the other hand... It seems like the company dropped support back in 2023, but I had already moved to LineageOS by then. Except they also dropped support for the device when Android 11 reached EOL and nobody had the drive to make an Android 12+ port for it. So that was over a year ago now... I think there might be alternatives but reinstalling my main phone isn't on the top of my "fun things to do" list.
