I wonder how much electricity and bandwith is used by all that spyware...
Since switching my FP6 to /e/OS i get at least double the battery life (not heavily using it, just messaging, listening to podcasts, outertune and some browsing). Especially when the screen is off, there is almost no battery usage.
Crazy...also, you made me remember how i had this cheap ass phone who battery life was like 2 days with screen off, i removed the google stuff and it became a full week (and i was hosting a discord bot on that guy btw)
Yeah i still remember my Redmi Notes fondly. Great battery life, good custom rom support, everything i needed from a smartphone. Very unfortunate, that xiaomi restricts custom ROMs as much as they do...
