I just bought 2x sony experia xa2's off ebay for £15each - so as I have some back ups for if i lose my other one. Unlockable bootloader so long as sony keeps its developer website thingy open. lineage os (dependant on above) . headphone port. micro-sd card slot. decent size. I don't see any downsides - i don't understand why people get rid of em. Maybe they don't know about lineage OS.

£300 for a fucking phone ? good on you if you can afford that.

I said it was my upper limit, I'd obviously prefer cheaper.

I've not delved into lineageos yet, even with those older xa2s it's it running the most up to date version? And as an aside, do bank apps and contactless payments work on lineageos?

I used to love my xperia Z and Z3, would love to get a Sony phone again like.

I don't do banking on my phone. I hardly do any apps really so can't advise - pretty much just co maps, libera reader, vanilla music player, and vlc. So mostly I'm just using f-droid apps.

I'd guess you might need to install at least microG or even full blown play services to use a lot of fancy apps..

Mine run on lineage v24 which is based on android 17.
