per @ilmagico@lemmy.world in another comment here:

The old jelly pro had a decent modding community, and I definitely was able to unlock the bootloader and root it, though not sure about degoogling.

I'm not really sure. what happened when it was no longer officially supported?

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not sure. stacking niches means there's a good chance the answer is no though.

if it's just a matter of specs it should be up to it, the hardware is pretty beefy for a phone, but I figure there's more to it than that.

personally I don't have the spoons to pour in the effort required to degoogle. the fact that the algs and few ads I see are completely irrelevant to me suggest that I have thoroughly confused them by how non-standard my internet usage is. I'm not overly concerned about the data they do get or what they do with it.

there are enough Man-Made Horrors Beyond My Comprehension™️ keeping me up at night but you do you

there is one option.

well and a couple others that are also made by Unihertz depending on your needs/wants

more companies making them would be cool but the general consensus I'm reading here is that there are 0 and that is incorrect.

you could get a Unihertz Jelly Star like me

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I'm probably gonna annoy people with this but I will shout it from the rooftops

Unihertz makes one.

my Chinese tiny phone has a name, it's the Unihertz Jelly Star. they even have a subreddit, not sure what makes you think it's a "no name" they make a lot of phones for niches in today's world including one with a physical qwerty keyboard.

now the fact that they're the only company filling those niches sucks, but it's better than nobody doing it.
