I Switched to a 10 Year Old Samsung.. It was pretty bad
Can you believe that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is turning 10 years old this year? Neither do I. I wanted to test it to see how long i can survive with it and what problems come up. I do a day in a life, first impressions, problems, speed test and a camera comparison :)

    It wasn't that bad unless if you play heavy games. It was a good phone if you install a custom ROM on it or at least installed the latest official Android 7 update from Samsung if you couldn't unlock the bootloader. FYI : I was daily driving a LG G5 which was released in 2016 which is 1 year after the Samsung S6 just except it has a Snapdragon 820 which is newer than the S6's processor but it still works fast with LG's latest Android 8 update, i have the Korean variant so i couldn't unlock the bootloader unless if exploits for unofficial bl unlocks was released. I have other phones there too which came out before and after the S6 : LG G3 which i rooted it and used stock Android 6 on it (i just wanted to keep it on stock until further notice) it runs better with optimizations and it was almost lag free. LG V20 which i have since last year and it runs LineageOS 20 except the screen was partially damaged and the front camera and microphone was failed. I could replace the front camera though but only if i got a replacement part. Replacing the microphone is impossible to do it homemade since it was soldered on the board. But the phone is pretty much lag free just like my daily driver.

    I currently have a S6 Edge in my drawer that runs Android 13 thanks to LineageOS 20 The phone is running pretty okay but yeah, battery life is awful due to degredation and the charging port doesn't hold on to the cable since Micro USB is trash. I have tested out many ROMs and the best ones personally are ROMs from Fakeman on XDA/GitHub since those are still being maintained and are quite stable and make the device run better even with the old hardware. Still even with the ROM, here are some problems: 1: VoLTE is not supported due to Samsung using proprietary software which means the phone relies on using 3G to make calls and most carriers are phasing out or have phased out 3G so you may not get service if you use a custom ROM 2. Banking apps and such that rely on Play Integrity will not work unless you use root to make the device pass the checks.

    Android 6 and Android 7? That's like hitting the jackpot for an old phone for me. Android 5 still works perfectly for my old tablet. I don't need more than Android 5. Even for my main phone. Just use old versions of apps. Literally Android 7 is like a lot for me. And I would have made it stay in Android 6 The only thing is Google Wallet because it's kinda like a paying app and it maybe needs the newest version (i have never used google wallet) And the slowness? It's not that much, and besides, repairing your attention span. I could literally use Android 4 if Whatsapp worked.

I seriously hope camera control is removed in the next generations. It's a dumb feature nobody asked for and nobody will be sad about when it's gone. Speaking as a 16 Pro user.

    iPhone's camera is shockingly bad. Colors are way off, HDR is too extreme, sharpning is turned up to 11.
