      Every single phone I had from like 2015 onwards were all Chinese, and all of them were at least decent. (my trusted Huawei lasted well over 4 years I believe)

        What types have you had? I’m looking to replace my Apple one which has lasted 4 years but right now have been leaning towards getting something open source next

          The one I have atm isn’t open source per se but should be easily rootalbe (to remove Google Spyware n stuff) since it’s basically stock Google Android with few OEM stuff.

          Its the power armor 13, it’d not for everyone since it weights 450grams (or a pound in native genocide units) but it’s all battery, it lasts up to 4 days w/o charging and it fell like 10 times and only the glass Screensaver thing broke

          It’s about 300€ in Europe when in discount, if not it’s about 350.

          If you’re looking for a normal degoogled phone I would suggest something that is supported by lineageos/postmarketos//e/

          Edit: i had prior to Huawei being unsupported by Google 2 of their phones, then about 3 xiaomis and then this ulefone. Now that I hold 450g everytime I hold my phone every other phone seems fake

            Yeah, that seems a bit big for me I think. Thank you for explaining that. What did you think of you Xiaomis?

              Too much bloatware, but I don’t remember if the bootloader is unlocked, if it is supported by custom roms you could flash one. If not, the price is really competitive, I paid about 180€ for a cell with mid-range hardware and that’s a pretty good deal, but I would still flash a custom degoogled rom on it.
