@thegreatape Two other phones I miss that self destruct are the BB Priv (infamous overheating CPU, the Snapdragon 808 was dogshit), and the Note 4 (eMMC failure/soldering failure).
The last truly great phone I used to own was the LG V20 as well. The camera on that was some bomb ass shit, I genuinely fucking miss that thing and it's camera but unfortunately you need to do some thermal paste magic to keep it going. Also it's the last flagship smartphone of the time to have batteries that are removable.

@thegreatape also the days of buying a cheap chinese phone (or a blu), with 8 core mediatek chips (what a novelty back then), stock android with no bloatware, and you could root them easily and do fun shit with them.
That's before the goal was to degoogle a phone and when the goal was to do fun shit with android, when SafetyNet and similar DRM didn't exist. I had picrel until the USB charger port was getting loose (thanks micro-USB), rooted and all. Piss easy on mediatek even.

@thegreatape I seemed to have lost the parent lottery, even the poverty kids in section 8 apartments had shit I couldn't.
By the time I got into phones it was the early Android era and I was using the poverty spec phones, I miss the time when you could root any Android phone with the shadiest software and "bootloader locking" was as foreign of a concept as "diy HRT" was back in those days.

@thegreatape every kid who was allowed a cell phone on moms plan back in the day (not mine my parents were controlling) had these: the SCH-u750
