Recently updated it to unofficial Lineage 17. It's working butter smooth. However, few problems do persist, like LTE connectivity and all. Overall it's good. May continue with this one for another year as my work phone.

My wife just replaced hers. Reasons: constantly running out of storage, battery was going out, and calls were dropping.
