      Not for a while, I have an oldish Motorola with Android 9, probably one of the last phones with 32b OS

      (Don’t anyone dare tell me to “upgrade”)

        Huh didn’t realize that would’ve come with 32 bit so recently. I ran a z2 force up until about 2 years ago when it stopped holding a charge. Those old Motorolas were great phones, but I haven’t found anything in their recent line that interested me. Ended up going with a Pixel 6 and then a 7 pro, my dad needed an update from his z2 force and it was cheaper if I just gave him mine and upgraded. Haven’t had any issues with the pixels, except for my sister dropping her 2xl and breaking the screen. Anything you get eventually though get unlocked. Tensor has a bunch of custom roms now so anything you upgrade will last for a while.

          Well this was a 150 € phone when new so that’s a pretty different category than what you’re looking at. I wouldn’t be surprised if 32b was still a thing in the cheap Chinese phones.

          If I ever get a chance to replace it, it will be extremely tough because it has a bunch of things which are indispensable for me that newer models simply don’t have.

              Screen with no holes, physical dual SIM cards and mSD card, headphone jack, somewhat trustworthy manufacturer with no ads and bloat, easily unlockable bootloader. There should still be one German-made phone that still has all that and some more, if it still exists, although if I ever get to getting a new phone we’ll probably all be using brain implants so it may all be moot by that point. Don’t worry about it, I’m not looking for recommendations or anything, I know everyone thinks my demands are crazy.

                Nah the demands aren’t crazy, they all used to be standard until the mass enshitification hit. My sister’s boyfriend found one that had almost all of those bar from the hole punch and the trustworthy manufacturer (some off brand Chinese company I don’t remember off the top of my head). Even had a thermal camera on it which was cool

                  There are a lot of phones that have some of the features - Sony has punchless displays, some cheap phones have headphone jacks, all the Motorolas have two SIMs, some phones have SD cards in shared slots, Pixels and some others have unlockable bootloaders, it’s just basically impossible to get one with all of this…
