      Explore this brand a bit, then.

      I specifically bought one 4 years ago to have something that could withstand existing in an industrial environment (dust, oil, hard surfaces) and for €150 it still lasts today.

      Parts are easy to find as well.

    I’ve been using this brand for some time now and the phones are well made. The option to go strong into the rugged segment payed off. But this is way over the top.

          Custom ROMs are the best, I love that they exist and wouldn’t want to live in a world without them any more. When I needed to buy a new phone two years ago, I had no idea which one I should get, but then I learnt about custom ROMs, got a Pixel, and installed CalyxOS on it, and I haven’t regretted it for even one second.

        Looking at the specs, there are a lot of compromises, which probably explains some of that.

        • UFS 2.2 storage.
        • “only” 8GB RAM (the 16GB “extra” is just swap space).
        • 450 nits max brightness and “only” 60Hz.
        • Video on the rear camera maxes out at 2K@30fps. It hopefully can at least do 1080p@60, but seeing as even $500 phones are starting to get 4K@60, that’s a dip.
        • 33W charging for that massive battery which even they say takes 4 hours to charge fully.
        • No WiFi 6.
        • Android 13 instead of 14 and I wouldn’t hold my breath for more than one update.

        It still looks pretty interesting, though, and if that $300 price tag lasts until it’s actually available, I’m tempted to get one just to see what it can do.

        The Spyware is like a virus, you’d probably have to replace the entire ROM and RAM to get rid of it.

          That’s not how ram works…

          I own an Oukitel that I’m willing to risk flashing when I can afford a new terminal.
