If the reasons for a "dumbphone" are smaller size, longer battery life, decreased media consumption, and increased privacy – then such a tiny smartphone as Xperia XZ1 Compact[1] with AOSP ROM without Google provided by Sony[2] would still cut the mark.

- nabilt 8y agoI do this with the Sony Xperia X. Updates are relatively frequent [1]. There are a few bugs with the AOSP version. For example, the phone doesn't come out of sleep when the alarm goes off. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it. Plus it's fun to hack the OS when I get time.

- nextos 8y agoAre AOSP ROMs from Sony as good as Pixel ones in terms of updates? If so, it might be a very worthwhile alternative.
