I got a Sony Xperia V V2 as well as a case and screen protector gifted to me as a early christmas present.
It has everything I want in a phone
front facing speakers
ammo led display
120 hz high refresh display
micro sd
finger print reader
eadphone jack
usb c
The phone is narrower compared to my realme xt, which makes it easier to use 1 handed use. The DAC is a nice feature, but I haven’t used it enough to notice a difference on my ATX 50s headphones or my klipsh speakers
I reused these instructions to setup my current phone.
I’ve removed most preloaded bloat and google apps (installed via aurora store and contained in shelter)
These two apps really help me lock down my phone without needing to install lineageOS
