9 years... this phone still goes strong!

[@Rendjfueiz2]

You Should Install a Custom Rom Android 13 Lineage OS 20.1 on this 9 year old and make it more usable and more up to date in 2024

Maybe i will try in the future this one as well

[@Galaxy.Windows]

​@@TheVintagePhoneGuy dont do it. Custom roms suck. Galaxys shoud allways have the Android versions that Samsung give to them
