Surprise. Some weeks ago I switched to helium devel channel because of the camera problems. With OTA 17 this was fixed, and today I decided to go back to stable (after many updates on hd). Watching a video on YT I realized that the phone performed much better than on hd. No lags at all. What a difference, I did not expect this.
2nd phone? I'm not sure, perhaps the OPO becomes my main device now. To answer the headline question: A very good device in 2021!

RE: Fairphone 3+ vs Volla Phone vs ?????
I would not expect to much from the camera. The UT camera app is very, very basic. On today's phones mainly the app is responsible for the performance.

FM Radio on Sony Xperia X
Hello, this is my first post. I use UT for some years now on a nexus 5. The phone is 7 years old and a bit slow. So I plan to change to a Sony Xperia X (F5121). I like having the fm radio. My question is: does this work with OTA-13. Thanks for reading.

@deutch1976 In my experience the video performance is a bit weak compared to newer phones. I'd recommend a newer device if watching videos on YT, news channels etc. is important. Besides this you can't go wrong with the OPO.

RE: Need feedback about Anbox apps as a daily practice
I tried Anbox on my OPO some days ago. I was surprised having a couple of standard apps on my phone I do not need - as already posted above. If you do not want/need these apps you cannot delete them, you can only deactivate them, but not all, like on the most Android phones. This reminded me why I left Android for UT. Another drawback is the installation procedure. You can't install apps with the store, e.g. F-Droid.
Ok, nice experience, but not my cup of tea. I then tried to delete Anbox again. This is not easy. In the end I flashed my phone completely new with the UB-ports installer.
IMO you can't have everything. I you want everything you need more than one phone.
