Hey all ~

My phone is getting slower (despite flashing it routinely), battery efficiency is dropping and storage gets eaten up fast. I have a SONY Xperia XA Ultra; and it has never really been supported very well in terms of boot recoveries, root or third party OS releases. Volume is capped at 80% on most bluetooth headphones (but not speakers) and smart watch connectivity drops consistently (all problems I had since buying it brand new in box).

I'm considering a new phone, but I would like to know what I should get that has a good following on the forums here. What actively has features being developed for it; such as boot, root and OS releases.

I'm not worried about 5G or tri-camera or fingerprint biometrics; just a well-rounded daily driver.

I used to have a Xperia ZL a ways back (still packed up somewhere); that had a lot of support for it, but my carrier says they no longer offer that type of SIM card anymore.
