This got me wondering what I'm using ... apparently it's a Moto G5s with Android 7?

I like it because it didn't come loaded with extra software, it was cheap (80€ in 2019) and it's got a nice camera. In a few years I might think about replacing it, in which case I'd like something a bit smaller.

I've got a tablet too, which is a Lenovo that fell off the back of a lorry in Hungary and my MIL bought it for me for the equivalent of 30€. It works well too, I think it's got Android 8 on it.

You're running pretty old versions of Android, don't you have issues with apps not being supported?

Not that I know of? I have Connect and Liftoff for Lemmy running fine, Tomb Raider Go and Pocket Rally work nicely, Firefox is supported, etc etc. I have a HTC with Android 1.2 on it that I use for Google Maps, which works better than the Android 7 phone, so I'm not entirely convinced that new is always better, lol
