Huge fucking speakers on phones is exactly what we needed. I can’t wait to listen to some random dudes supermarket playlist.

You don't need to put it in your pocket. Just throw it on the ground and kick it along as you walk.

Finally, they are back

Phones that if thrown at someone, they break their skull, instead of shattering into dust

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 15 points 11 months ago

Explore this brand a bit, then.

I specifically bought one 4 years ago to have something that could withstand existing in an industrial environment (dust, oil, hard surfaces) and for €150 it still lasts today.

Parts are easy to find as well.

Yea, good thing none of our domestic phones spy on us.

I mean, it’s often easier to install a custom ROM on those to get rid of spyware

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 8 points 11 months ago

Custom ROMs are the best, I love that they exist and wouldn't want to live in a world without them any more. When I needed to buy a new phone two years ago, I had no idea which one I should get, but then I learnt about custom ROMs, got a Pixel, and installed CalyxOS on it, and I haven't regretted it for even one second.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it's not very expensive either. Legit wondering if it could be flashed with a custom rom to get rid of the spyware because it actually kinda seems cool.

[-] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Looking at the specs, there are a lot of compromises, which probably explains some of that.

UFS 2.2 storage.
"only" 8GB RAM (the 16GB "extra" is just swap space).
450 nits max brightness and "only" 60Hz.
Video on the rear camera maxes out at 2K@30fps. It hopefully can at least do 1080p@60, but seeing as even $500 phones are starting to get 4K@60, that's a dip.
33W charging for that massive battery which even they say takes 4 hours to charge fully.
No WiFi 6.
Android 13 instead of 14 and I wouldn't hold my breath for more than one update.

It still looks pretty interesting, though, and if that $300 price tag lasts until it's actually available, I'm tempted to get one just to see what it can do.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 17 points 11 months ago

I've been using this brand for some time now and the phones are well made. The option to go strong into the rugged segment payed off. But this is way over the top.

[-] 1d420@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Actually looks kinda sick

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Ahh, so this is the phone yobbos on the bus use xD

[-] ordellrb@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

is that an oukitel or are you happy to see me?

[-] Tautvydaxx@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

It would be an awsome phone to use for work outside, does anybody know, do these phones allow os flashing? Maybe it even supports graphene os?

[-] modcolocko 16 points 11 months ago

GrapheneOS is specifically designed for hardware with certain hardware security features, as in the lead developer will not support anything that doesn't have these. Leading it to only really being available for Pixels (but some niche company is supposed to be getting an official grapheneos version soom i believe)

Lineageos is the "runs on anything" rom.

artefacts of ancient future yore, slap a couple solar panels on it, make them modular and im sold

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

You just know this person will be listening to music on speaker on public transport.

[-] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Is this intended to be used in brickwork for housing?
