  • That’s definitely a big issue with these. This one ships with Android 13, its very likely that it will never get an update or security patch after release.

    From a security/privacy standpoint these are bad. I have not seen any custom ROMs for any of them, for the usual reasons, limited uptake, Mediatek processors, unreleased source code.

    If none of that is important to you, then they seem to work pretty well. An old coworker had one, I used it briefly a few times. Battery life was great, seemed to get reception where other devices didn’t, hers was waterproof, and survived many drops. It was great for site surveys in the back of Bourke.

    I wouldn’t use one, but if none of what I consider the downsides was an issue then its a phone with good specs (Android version notwithstanding) for very reasonable money.






  • One of the other sub’s here had something about it earlier, I can’t find it of course.

    Some people seemed to be redirected, others reported no problems.

    Some users were also reporting that a Gmail address was now required for new signups, others said no.

    Seems like probably an A/B test.

    I no longer have an account there, I still use Stealth (Android) for search redirects and have no issues, others say Stealth doesn’t work at all.
