        I bought a second-hand xperia 5 III last week. Edit: Flashed lineageos and a magisk module to use the stock camera.

        The naming scheme is confusing, the first number is the price range, where 1 is the most expensive, 5 the sweet spot, 10 the “budget” model, then the second number is the generation, I < II < III < IV < V < VI.

          Huh. Interesting. I’ve got a Redmi that I can feel is starting to falter. The most annoying thing about it is the amount of random shite loaded onto it that’s hard to get rid of. And the camera is garbage.

          Would you mind showing me an unedited photo it takes? I’m considering jumping ship, but I’m not sure where to go. LineageOS sounds nice.
