Bought an android half that age new in the box earlier this year and had to replace the battery before it would even turn on. Nobody's supporting those except the degoogled android folks and Ubuntu Touch team.
2016 is so far back. That's awesome.

Little bit absurd for a degoogled phone, I still need whatsapp ... and banking apps should be reliably supported

Good camera app for me, some basic degoogled roms have such sad camera apps

Having my essential national banking apps work – like India's BHIM/UPI for payments – without needing Google Play Services. If a deGoogled phone can solve that, it's a winner.

Basically that the phone is degoogled by design, and I don't have to worry about all the sneaky ways google is trying to get my data anyways.

god i wish the smartphone space had truly viable alternatives to android and ios.
im very aware of the different forks of degoogled android, and various mobile linux projects, but nothing seems to exist in a really workable way, let alone a satisfying way like the PC market has.

The most recent iOS update is straight trash. iPhone 14 Pro and I’m laggy as shit.
I literally cannot wait to get away from Apple and get a deGoogled Android phone.

Degoogled Chromium or original Chromium? The former is certainly available on Linux

Depends on what you mean by "degoogle". A full degoogle takes some work, but you can get off to a very good start if you follow the guides on my website at www.degoogle-your-life.com
It will help you get your browser and device settings much more degoogled than they likely were before.

It is open source and deGoogled but I believe it is android based. There aren't many realistic options for non-android open source phones right now 🙄. Theoretically this could be solved by various linux based projects, the most prominent maybe ubports ubports.com

Lichess Broadcasts of Super-GMs usually end in large draws. I've degoogled, so its a bit of a hassle to wait for another round just for a draw to happen. Not this time tho! Finally, here's a round full of losses.

E vuole anche l'accesso a Google Play per partire 🤣🤣🤣
Anche no grazie. Se hai un sistema degoogled come il mio, non ha senso.
Io passo.

I got a pixel but it's flashed to GrapheneOS which is basically a deGoogled version of android -- you can still use Google apps but you have to download them individually and they're sandboxed.

Kinda on the same level of harm reduction I give to google chromium where I only log into a degoogled chromium build when I need to watch something in HDR or do something not compatible with Firefox.

well the idea is to just repair the screen and put graphene os on it for a privacy phone but I already have a Samsung S10+ with lineage and fully degoogled and locked down as much as possible

main reason I'm gettin it is the degoogled part really, my current phone's state is just a secondary reason (it's got a loose piece on the inside which seems to make it heat up way more than it should plus some insane planned obsolescence ofc, hoping to resell it at least)
