@WeAreFairphone How is Android 16 on FP3 even possible which is stuck on Linux kernel 4.9? I thought Android 16 requires at least some 5.x kernel? 🤔
@lespocky @WeAreFairphone Thought so too.
@RealCarlos @lespocky I did not try it out a lot, but at first touch, it did not feel laggier than the standard Android 13 OS. /u
