    Now we can’t even ensure manufacturers give us unlockable bootloaders.

    It’s time to bring X86 into phones back. Latest X86 CPUs are on par with ARM in terms of efficiency.

      That’s just some Linux userspace with an Android container and an Android kernel. It is mostly still Android kernel and drivers.

      I don’t expect them to support devices for very long.

    Writing this on the Volla Quintus. It’s a nice phone. Best features are the springboard and the boot manager.

        I use two banking apps and an NFC payment app and all of them work without any problems. You just enable micro g and when you’re done, you disable it again.
