    Huge fucking speakers on phones is exactly what we needed. I can’t wait to listen to some random dudes supermarket playlist.

    You don’t need to put it in your pocket. Just throw it on the ground and kick it along as you walk.

      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.

          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.

      Yeah, it’s not very expensive either. Legit wondering if it could be flashed with a custom rom to get rid of the spyware because it actually kinda seems cool.

        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…

            It shouldn’t, but there are rams that don’t get wiped completely without power, making it perfect for viruses to be installed over and over again.

            I forgot the bios btw… Also a great place to store viruses.

              Really? Didn’t know that was a thing.

              But I feel that it would be much easier to just make sure the standard software can’t get replaced, rather than infecting everything with malware

                Yeah had a computer virus that effected the Bios and the ram, had to manually clean the entire thing like three times to get it out.

                Pretty nasty stuff, and when its put in from the start they can just add a storage that cant wiped, wich gets booted together with the bios, its even possible to hardwire a virus in a system, actually its hilariously easy to do so if you know how.

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

        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.

    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.

    It would be an awsome phone to use for work outside, does anybody know, do these phones allow os flashing? Maybe it even supports graphene os?

      GrapheneOS is specifically designed for hardware with certain hardware security features, as in the lead developer will not support anything that doesn’t have these. Leading it to only really being available for Pixels (but some niche company is supposed to be getting an official grapheneos version soom i believe)

      Lineageos is the “runs on anything” rom.
