LineageOS developers have been working hard to expand LineageOS 20 builds based on Android 13 to more devices. After releasing the first batch of official over 50 device designs last week, the team now has a few more phones on the list, including the Sony Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ2 Premium, and Xperia XZ3.
