Make sure to check for camera support. When I unlocked the bootloader from an old Xperia phone, camera performance was reduced a lot.
Pictures were never the same after that.

Really? I haven't checked the scene recently! Wow! I have some reading to do!
Thanks!
... and again. Not the same.
Do not get me wrong. I used to love custom ROMs since the days of android 1.6.
But if I pay 500€ and more for a phone I would not risk to unlock the bootloader. For my specific device (Samsung A52s) the camera app does not even open if I unlock the bootloader using the stock ROM.
Unfortunately it is not feasible for every day use. Camera, payments, netflix...
For an old phone, yes. It's a good idea.
What about the camera? That's the only real problem for me.
Yeah. I get it. It's good for old devices to be useful for years to come.
What about the battery though? Having a device with an old battery plugged in the socket 24/7 is a fire hazard.
I would love to use my old nexus 10 with this perfect screen today. There is still no way to use a mobile device without a battery plugged in...
