Re: Nokia launches DIY repairable budget Android phone
#2Nice! I've been waiting for something like the FairPhone to show up in the US.
A sweet bonus would be if they also provided and fully supported de-googled image or at least had an option to download the de-googled image after accepting some disclaimers. Or perhaps even set up a public community for phone hackers to help them build said image i.e. crowdsource the work.
An optional large shell for a bigger battery would be a nice upgrade too. My current phone has a 10,000mAh battery and lasts a very long time after disabling background networking on most apps.

#3This will be nice if and only if there is a way to install a custom android version.
Otherwise it'll be bogged down with bloatware and will be useless as soon as security updates aren't available anymore.
But if so, very nice :)

ulefone Armor. There are a couple other models that have a 13200mAh battery.

#7This is excellent. However, I wish they released a more powerful version with the same repairability. I believe this would better appeal to the audience that values the repairability, as well as put pressure on other vendors to do the same.

I think they would be perfect. I was hoping they had a rom for my phone but I could only find one supporting a really old version. If they partnered with Nokia to build supported images for their phones that would be incredible.

#9Supported with updates for 3 years? So you'll change the battery once, I guess.

Until someone builds an OS variant for it, you can use the UAD (Universal Android Debloater) found on Github to remove most of that.
