Razer Phone 2 in 2025 (pawb.social)

I am still using a Razer Phone 2 (2018) in 2025. It's 7 years young. One battery replacement, ripped-off speaker grilles, and a dead USB port but it still chugs along. Its position as a gaming phone has meant its performance has kept up with the latest software demands quite well.

I'm using wireless charging to keep it powered. I lost the ability to run LineageOS major version updates due to the dead port. Any advice?

I am hoping to run this phone until it catastrophically dies or I lose it.
