I’ve been trying to work out which of the 190 devices would have the best long term support. Fair phone and newer one plus devices seem well supported. Hopefully the newer Samsung S10 devices will have decent support as well. FP4 with /e/ would be a logical new purchasing choice, hopefully when /e/ has been ported on to it.
Hello everyone,
I am pretty clumsy and often damage/break my phone.
I would like to know if there are “robust” smartphones that will support /e/ OS.
For instance, crosscall smartphones (CORE-M4 : smartphone compact, résistant et fiable for instance) or others that I don’t know of
Thank you for your work

Hello.
Good old Motorola from 2015, e.supported, are pretty robust, with a screen protector… and a second one, clone, to replace the broken daily 
Sorry, I have to admit I am a bit confused. Is codename alioth released or still planned with and still pending for a completion time slot. I just ordered an f3 and would like to know if I can go ahead and try installing R on it.
Many thanks!

I think I found my answer here /e/ R beta testing, so I guess I will sign up for volunteer beta test work.
Hello trefix,
Ok, thanks, I will check it!
Merci
You can easily open and repair the Galaxy s4 or s4mini as a Fairphone

A few of the community have requested the gx290 be supported by /e/ because it is a rugged phone, and the gs290 is already a central part of /e/.

Dont know just how rugged the gx290 is but I have the gs290 and it is a very good phone for the price.

Is Motorola Moto g50 XT2137-1 planned to be supported by /e/ ?
Better late than never 
Here’s an unoffiicial R release for Z5 Compact suzuran, built from the v0.20-r tag
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17825722713688244617
I have run through the same tests that I will be running on the forthcoming official v0.20-r releases and everything seems to pretty much work.
I have only tested a clean install, so be prepared to lose all your installed apps and data. There are some ways of migrating data from Q → R discussed in these forums (TWRP, SeedVault, Android backup and restore project) which may or may not work. Good luck, and have fun!

Hello
Can we have a hope to see the Samsung Galaxy A5(2016) a5xelte switch to the Android R version?
Thanks
Hi @saroumane38, a5xelte seems to be in the same boat as a3xelte, Samsung A3 (2016), LineageOS has not built successfully in Android R for this device. It is marked there as unsupported.
The following branches are officially supported for the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016):
lineage-16.0
lineage-17.1
I can see that work is ongoing; I have tried unsuccessfully to build Android R for LineageOS for a3xelte. The recent changes in the 18.1 device tree for a3xelte do not give me any clue what the underlying issue is. There may be quite a long wait.
