Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite running LineageOS 20 (Android 13) (official).

I feel absolutely blessed by the device maintainers that keep Lineage alive and current on this phone. It runs amazing considering its lower speced hardware.

I picked this phone because it has NFC, an IR blaster, notification LED and a 3.5mm jack!

Not sure how the flagships brands justify leaving those features out

My only complaint is the camera which is very average but I knew that before I purchased so I can't really complain.

How does Netflix and banking apps play with LineageOS?

My phone will get its last security update this month, so I'm thinking to jump ship.

You can use Magisk to get around those restrictions of you have issues.

There are also SafetyNet fixes you can flash post Lineage install that get around that sort of thing but it is a back and forth as Google is continually patching holes in their security.

My banking apps work fine, including Google Pay.
