      @trainailleur Thank you very much.

      I wish i can find a offically supported device but there is any offically supported device here.

      Is there any problem with Lineage 17.1? Most of Xiaomi devices support only 17.1 now.

        @domubpkm In Turkey, you canโ€™t buy any phone with shipping from other countries even if you pay for VAT and other tax or custom duties. Only option for buying a phone legally from another country, bringing phone along with you and record imei number.

              @utkb Ohhh probably they want to spy on you and know exactly which guy used his phone to spread "critical" news or so ๐Ÿ™‚ - Its a pity with your politicians there...

              Well longterm.... The nature of Android brings it that its not made to be longterm. You can use an older phone for a long time given that you dont drop it, and you could replace the battery. So actually try to look for a model which has still exchangeable batteries....

              Other than that, you know the list: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ - there are many models in progress, and I hope that we will finish most of them ๐Ÿ˜‰ - Look for smth with Android 9 and GSI. But it must have been released with that version, not just upgraded later.

                LG V20 was the highest speced - and last - mainstream phone to have a removable battery, I believe, but it only got Lineage 14.1 and 17.1, skipping both 15.1 and 16 (though ISTR semi-viable device trees for one and/or the other version). I see there is a port in progress for the US T-Mobile variant, but that port is based on 14.1. As utkb asked regarding Xiaomi, is a Halium port from Lineage 17.1 viable yet?

                  Well 7.1 could be fine, just saying that we try to get as much support as possible for Android9/LOS16 now. 17 is not even close ^^

                    @Flohack I didnโ€™t know GSI.

                    Also I will keep my eyes on offical device list.

                    Thank you very much.

                    Edit: Spelling.

                        @Lakotaubp As far as i understand, almost any phone with GIS support and comes with Android 9 (But not uptated to this version) can run UBPorts with appopriate patches easily. This is great news๐Ÿ˜ƒ
