Sony Xperia XZ

Sony Xperia XZ

4 Year old phone. Still working perfectly thanks to Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

I managed to port the latest version of Android 10 into the device.

Sony officially discontinued support and update for this device. That's mean you will be stuck on Android 8 (Oreo) there will be risk of lacking apps support and security update.

Pixel 3 XL

Pixel 3 XL

Device updated and running Android 10.

Did a clean install notice there is alot of speed improvement over Android 9 Pie

As Google switched the file system from ext4 to F2FS

UFS 2.1 hardware is actually better than eMMC in term of speed

I also manage to get Magisk and Android (Root) working on Android 10

Receive this phone for repair. Customer mention that the phone is very hot when charging and battery cannot last long.

How i solve this issue by first unlocking the bootloader and root (Android).

Then using some software to underclock the Snapdragon 660 chip and Adreno GPU.

What this mean is, once underclocked the device will use less power and also less heat.
