7 years and still using the same phone | It’s a budget android. I’m not sure if this subreddit is the perfect one to post this on but if not I apologise. So I got my first phone back in March 2018. It’s a Redmi Y2/S2. I’ve been using it as my primary device for almost 7 years. Now I’ve been using it with custom roms and that’s how I got new software on old hardware. Currently it’s running lineage 22.1 (andro…

People who use a Mac with an Android phone, how’s your experience? I’ve been using iPhones since 2013, but I’m getting pretty bored with iOS lately.

Android app like Luminar Neo with a lifetime/one time purchase?

( www.reddit.com )

Android app like Luminar Neo with a lifetime/one time purchase? So I love Luminar Neo but it seems it was pulled from Google Play before I could buy it. Bummer. Which similar android apps would you recommend for photo editing that have a one time / lifetime purchase? I’m poor so I can’t afford to pay every month or year. I prefer to pay 50-80 dollars once and never again. submitted by /u/HeyNoSuddenMo…
