I've owned a Umidigi F1 for the past two years, and I have nothing but positive things to say.
The battery is still fantastic at 5150mAh and still in good condition. It runs stock android. It has a headphone jack and a microsd card slot. Its radio runs on most bands 4g bands. It only cost about $200 and has most of the features of a mid-to-high end phone at the time which would have cost ~$500-$700.
In relation to this story about the "Freedom Phone" people are pointing out how the MicroTek CPU is likely "vulnerable." Most CPU privilege escalation exploits are hard to exploit in practice. You're at a much bigger risk letting google run arbitrary code on your phone. Then again, every Intel CPU made from 1996 until 2019 was "vulnerable" so should we also assign them pariah status?
- Arnt 5y agoThat's probably MediaTek, not at all to be confused from the Lavian router vendor MikroTik. I'm somewhat confused by this emphasis on CPU vulnerabilities. The browsers we run are now ten, twenty million lines of code, and those lines of code are very close to most people's payload. If you want to attack someone, the payload you're looking for is quite likely to be readable for the browser and other apps. It seems much easier to get something into the code of an app the user runs by exploiting some code in maven/npn/rubygems/… than via the CPU.
