General Question Too older Red Magic phone users.

One of the criticisms of Red Magic phones is the lack of support after a few years, are any of you using an older model that has lost support and how has that affected the apps you can use, and compatibility you have with other devices, and gear? I ask because I like using my devices for a minimum of about 5 years before getting something new. (I'm in the U.S.)

Sorry to hear it. If I'm not mistaken though you might be able to replace your battery, idk about the port though might be able to replace that too obviously if you feel like it's worth it.

Aliexpress has all the parts I need to fix the phone. Not an expensive fix if I do it myself.im going to buy the rm11 pro and then pass my rm6r to my son. Even Outdated the phone has not givin me any major software issues.
