Based, that's the XZ1 Compact. I also used it for so many years. I replaced it with a Zenfone 8 recently, which is pretty good for the price of 450€ that it costed me, but the XZ1C is still the best phone ever made. Anyway, what rom are you using on it? I used LOS 17.1 from FlameFire (Xda) and it worked as well as a brand new phone in terms of stability and speed, it was honestly quite impressive. Unfortunately due to the memecamera fads and ridiculous Google bloat that requires at the very minimum 5000Mah battery for the phone to last more than half a day, phones of that size are to be considered extinct forever.

I considered the small Zenfones, but they have notch and that's a no-go for me. >what rom are you using on it? Stock ROM, but rooted. I removed most of the bloat and the battery lasts ~2 days. I use it for shitposting, music, calls and maybe half an hour of youtube per day. If I wouldn't have to call anyone, it would last 3 days for sure.

Ah I see someone elses order finally arrived. How long did you cart around a power brick before you switched back? Number one detractor for that phone imo

How's the battery?
Bought a Zenfone 8 tuesday to replace my old S4 mini from around 2013-2014. Wanted a relatively small phone so my choice was limited, and i wasn't sure between Zenfone 8 and Xperia 10 IV. Didn't really need the extra power of the Zenfone cause i don't use my phone much (just basic tasks like calls/messaging/hospot/a bit of browsing) and had concerns abour the battery after reading some reviews/comments, so for a time leaned toward the 10 IV. Both phone were 500€, so for the value, and in general for specs... everyone recommended the Zenfone and eased a little my concerns about battery. Now had it for 2 days, just did the first charge to 65%, didn't really used it much since (just updates, passed through every settings, downloaded a few apps...), and i can see the battery goind down pretty fast every time i use it just a bit (and i'm in ultra durable mode). Now my concerns are back... It's only been 2 days so i'll see how it goes after a few weeks, i'm not yet starting to regret not buying the 10 IV for the battery only, but...

Try not putting it in battery saver mode and try charge it fully. Let it do it’s thing. Turn off 5g. Should easily give you 7 hours SOT

Any recommendations for a flagship-tier phone that supports lineageOS? SD card slot vastly preferred. I wanted to get the Poco X3 Pro but it seems fucking impossible to find nowadays, and from what I've heard it's unclear if they'll ever release a version for the X4 Pro because the guy who released the kernals left Xiaomi.
