Under rated indeed. My favorite phone of all time. Never understood why the market didn't appreciate the G5's modular design. Quick swap out of the battery was awesome. I loved its sleek design.

Imagine not storing Android 12 (LineageOS) on the G5. Android users should learn how to look outside the box since we are not in a walled garden like Apple. My Note 3 from 2013 is running Android 11 with JULY 2023 updates lmao.

Why didn't you check if your variant qualifies for LineageOS? The 3 supported G5 are currently at Android 12. xD
