LineageOS is one of the most well-known and loved ROMs by the Android community. Its experience is very similar to Stock Android with excellent performance and the ability to have the operating system the way you like (that is, with the ability to even not have Google on your Android), and now it reaches ten new phones, and it could be that you were the owner of any of them.
LineageOS 16, the current version, has more and more officially supported devices, and now we have them on more devices, and although there are ten devices, it could be that your device was among one of those.
New LineageOS phones: Mi 6, Mi Mix 2 and more
This is the list of the new phones that LineageOS 16 supports:
- Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (chiron)
- Xiaomi Mi 6 (is)
- Lenovo P2 (kuntao)
- Willeyfox swift (crackling)
- Willeyfox Storm (tipper)
- YU Yuphoria (lettuce)
- Oppo R5 (International) (r5)
- oppo R5S (International) (r5)
- Oppo R7s (International) (r7sf)
- Oppo R7 Plus (International) (r7plus)
As you can see, the list is quite extensive to be new phones. Brands like Willeyfox or Yu are not well known and they may not be your phones, but phones like Xiaomi Mi Mi Mix 2 or Mi 6 are the most interesting, and it is a good way to extend their useful life. LineageOS and Mi 6 are a good combination (and other phones).
It is also possible that some of you have the R7s and the R7 Plus from Oppo, which at its launch Oppo was already beginning to gain a bit more strength in the western market, although not even close to what it is today with phones like the Oppo reno or Oppo R17 Pro among other interesting phones that the company is launching.
LineageOS 16
To download and install LineageOS 16, based on Android 9 Pie, you will have to go to the Official Site and find your device in the downloads section, it is as easy as searching by brand and then by model in the menu on the left.
To install LineageOS we recommend having experience or being very well informed before doing so, since we will need to have a recovery mode such as TWRP to install the ROM.
In addition, the phone will be completely reset, so make sure you have a copy of the data that you have on your phone on your computer or in the cloud.
In any case, you can look for other ROMs if you are not convinced, there are thousands of ROMs that you can find. Find the one that interests you the most, although you will have to check that it is available for your particular phone.
