The realme GT5 is a midrange smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Read our Notebookcheck review to find out whether the realme smartphone is a worthwhile purchase.
The price may be midrange but the specs definitely are not.
I do not know one person changing their stock Android, let alone jailbreak iOS. Since it comes with drawbacks like broken banking apps, I would also not do it myself. So if you see a lot of people doing such things, you must know a very specific group of people.
You’re on Lemmy my friend. There are a bunch of us running GrapheneOS. Some on CalyxOS, e/os, LineageOS. If you hang out around tech people enough, you’ll meet some that change their Android phone OS.
I absolutely agree with you that not many normal people are doing this. Which is why I pointed out that you’ll find more of us in tech places like Lemmy and in other parts of the internet. If you interact outside then a lot of people are on iphones and standard google androids. Most don’t even know the degoogling phone community even exists.
LineageOS GSI on my Samsung Tab 2019 Has made it still usable to this day, then there’s the one with microg on my Pixel 2XL. Getting rid of play services axed about 800M of RAM usage for me. The Pixel is on Android 14 and the Tab will be the next time I update.
We are out there, we own our devices, and get value out of them well beyond their predefined expiration dates.
I can see a lot of people putting lineageos on this and debloating it.

Posting from my Oneplus 9 Pro running LineageOS as a proof we do exist! There are dozens of us. DOZENS!
