Samsung Galaxy SIII mini Value Edition (samsung-i8200)
This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |
WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) has been considering dropping it. In some cases, the processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly. |
