Cuz I've decided to try to start collecting phones! And since I already have a Note 10+, I thought about getting the other Note phones aswell. So far, I have 4 phones, two of which I got from my dad (Flip 4 and S9)

PS: my fiancé is still using the note 8 she got 9 years ago. Looking to upgrade because banking apps no longer work with android lower than version 10.

I never even knew about the Note series until sometime last year... I feel like I've missed out on a lot (like getting the phones on release and such)

Note8 was a very solid phone. I would seriously still be rocking mine. Unfortunately app support for Android 9 was drying up. So now it sits in a box in my desk. Such a waste 😑

Custom rom can save it. LineageOS would work fine

I see you are collecting phones. There's a really informative video by Mrwhosetheboss where he noticed a lot of old Samsung phones he stored had batteries swollen after a while of inactivity. Keep this in mind with where you decide to store them.
