Hi I need to purchase a new phone and what to move to /e/ but I notice the supported devices seem old. Can I get some advice on what device and how I can update a 2020 phone.
Waterproof and a decent camera;
Cheers
Elliot

For example:
Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ | S9 / S9+ have the protection class IP68 / IP68 certification
Galaxy S8 SM-G950F / Galaxy S8+ SM-G955F
Android 9 , with Security patch Mar 2020
Galaxy S9 SM-G960F / Galaxy S9+ SM-G965F
Android 10 , with Security patch Mar 2020
The camera is ultimately only as good as the camera software. And it is well known that custom ROMs are inferior to proprietary manufacturer software.

@elliotrock I am selling my S9 Exynos SM-G960F
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S 128GB (sometimes available for $250) — by many aspects it is equal to S9+, but at the same time applies a very different approach. The body is made of ceramic, although it is not waterproof
OnePlus 7 Pro — has many negative points, such as high SAR level, lack of wireless charging or water resistance, but with a very high price tag. However, this is definitely the most advanced hardware for eOS today.
I’m also looking for a device but sadly there is basically nothing. The only e compatible phone that comes near my Huawei Mate 20 x or Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is the Oneplus 7 Pro.
I don’t know why e only supports small phones.
You can sort by year or by size in this table if you want :
I choosed the smallest one the s4mini,
you can choose the biggest.
If you want a large screen, you also can choose a Tablet
use /e/ on a tablet
thanks for you reply. When would the S20 series ROM happen? I know its hard as this seems to be an open source community. Although I am a software engineer (Tech Lead) I have not had much exp with the java world.
S9+ looks good though.
Thanks mate. Definately looking for a larger screen. I have a ios 6plus atm. the S9+ looks good.
Dumb questions. I assume I can use normal android apps too? Like Instagram?
The Oneplus 7 pro is the only real phablet. And even that one is already smaller than my phones. That’s why I said there’s basically no phone.
And a tablet? Not sure how I’m going to have phone calls or put it in my pocket.

→ In preparation are:

Galaxy Note 8.0- 8.0 inches, 800 x 1280 pixels, 16:10 ratio
You might consider a Fairphone 3. It’s not waterproof but it was released in 2019 and there’s currently a beta test running for it’s /e/ release.
Cheers. I just purchased a S9+ plus as I can’t buy from here as I am in Australia. Next steps will be to setup /e/ once I get it
