May companies like Realme still use Vooc charging and have not switched to USB PD. I think it's the case with majority of Chinese OEMs.

A similar case is seen in wireless tech where Qi or Qi2(which currently only HMD supports) isn't the base standard for Chinese OEMs since their propreitary solutions can sometimes wirelessly charge as high as 50W in some cases.

Very few flagship phones offer the first two now. ( I think Xperia series had an Headphone jack). Replaceable battery is almost gone even in mid rangers. Chargers, Chinese OEMs still provide but still not Samsung or Google.

I use Iceraven currently. It's a Firefox fork. Back when I started to use it, It was one of only two browsers (other being Smart Cookie Web Preview) to support extension sideloading on Android.

I don't think Iceraven is as hardened as Mull, but it is updated on a regular basis. Either case, for most folks, regular Firefox should do the trick. There is also Waterfox, another FF fork on desktop/mobile but it hardly has much to distinguish itself.

Usually, for political purposes the first phase of a metro is hastily inaugurated whilst subsequent phases often linger long. Agra does have a road map for longer metro lines. How long, it will take, especially with changing state and central governments is anybody's guess. Unlike China, things are slower in India both for political and logistical reasons(like land acquisition sometimes becomes a stumbling factor in associated railway projects).

The thing about Indian metros is that nearly half of them are built on very low distances. For example, the Agra Metro(home to the Taj Mahal) currently has a operational distance of 6 km only. Jaipur, another tourist site has ~12 km only.

Cities like Bombay/Mumbai are developing it as an alternative (and much needed there because the suburban trains are creaking there and they are dangerous) but they are yet to reach a sustainable limit. I think Delhi has sorted it. They have covered the whole length and breadth of the city and have nearly 400 km of network length. The ridership numbers are decent there too.

That's true. Graphene is majorly Pixel limited, I guess. And even Lineage has a small set of devices when one considers the nos of OEMs and variants they manufacture per year.

Doesn't' the fork like Lineage OS or Graphene also need to support those phone models first?

Do you use the official Spotify client or a third party one like ncspot? Not that the latter will remain for long now considering API changes on Spotify's end.

I have a Nokia C01 Plus. It was very cheap and it's just kept, only used occasionally by me. It has Android 11, probably Go version only.

Otherwise, my main phone was littered with bloatware(looks at Realme).

HMD, the spiritual successor to Nokia, still produces the odd phone (latest being the HMD Fusion) that is close to stock Android in feeling. The author mentions that folks looking for stock Android are well served by Pixel A series of phones but they are still overwhelmingly expensive, Atleast in emerging markets.
