In what way does it look outdated?
Look at its specs. Processor and screen and so on.
People need to stop wanking over specs for a device that'll be used 99% of the time to send text messages and watch YouTube videos
What do you need on a phone that takes 8gb+ ram?
That's sound in theory, but app developers don't really test on low end phones, so the apps tend to get more and more bloated as time goes by. As soon as you need something with a map, you're pretty much fucked. Looking at all the hiking maps that just get progressively worse without adding anything that I care for.
I need my pocket sized spaceship computer for shitposting and occasionally checking my email
To connect it to a dock station and have a full desktop experience. That is my use case
Also put the OS into perspective. The specs might not do for Android normally but might be just fine functionally, for Linux.
