I just want a high end phone that supports something like lineageos, has a micro SD slot, and decent battery life. Somehow it's hard to find.

Microsoft is in the phone business too.
Still? I thought they had spun off their mobile hardware division and were instead mostly focusing on mobile software. Would make some sense for them to try to do the same thing they did with PCs and IBM back in the day, since the OS is already open source (mostly).
Is "spun off" code for they took a 10 billion dollar loss on it and shut it down?

The rumors are they're still doing one last ditch, Surface Phone due to the growing Surface ecosystem that is making them money and people liking it so far. However, they're not going to release that until they finish the CShell that they're working on the past several years.
Is Surface making money or just stemming the bleeding?

#127Forked from Lineage but it's unclear what problems are being solved that aren't already solved by Lineage.

Xiaomi Picophone F1. SD845, 4-6GB RAM, micro-sd slot, 4000mAh. Popular enough for treble and lineageOS dev last I've checked... I'm actually using a whyred (RN5) now which is it's cheaper cousin with SD635 and fully flourishing custom ROM scenes.
Also, no lineageos support at this point. not surprising, given its newness. But looks like one to keep an eye on!
