Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone
- gamander 6mo agoJust buy a Chinese phone in China. They don't have GMS so they will not be affected by the upcoming change. Of course Play integrity checks will fail like on any other alternative OS.
- smt88 6mo agoSounds like a good way to guarantee a phone with a backdoor
- downbad_ 6mo agoLol. It's about choosing the devil you're most comfortable with. I bet Apple and Google have theirs too.
- fsflover 6mo agoDo they run AOSP? Then, they must obey the Google's long-term development strategy. This is why I use a phone with GNU/Linux.
- dickeeT 6mo agoyeah, some big name like huawei also already have flagship
- dlcarrier 6mo agoI have a Pinephone Pro. I really like the prospect of the keyboard case making it as usable as a laptop, (https://pine64.org/2021/12/31/happy-new-year-the-keyboard-and-cases-are-here/ https://pine64.org/2021/12/31/happy-new-year-the-keyboard-an...) but after trying it out, the keys bind almost as often than they work, so it's entirely unusable. I need to find a lubricant that can make plastic (probably ABS) slide against the same type of plastic without binding.
