Google told me, there is basically no phone out there that uses it, because it's an IoT SoC, not one made for phones. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bbbhltz@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Crosscall Core-Z5 https://www.crosscall.com/en_FR/core-z5-COZ5.MASTER.html permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) How did you end ab with that phone? I never heard of that company. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bbbhltz@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I live in France, I wanted a phone with buttons that wasn't just an ODM with a different logo on it. It is an interesting company. I've had some contact with them. They are legit going to pull out of China and move production back to France. They uphold their 5 year warranty promise as well. And, they update their stuff. I'm on Android 13 and apparently older devices are still receiving updates too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm getting some low-key Fairphone vibes there.

I wouldn't want to pry this phone open and then glue it back together. Fairphones are supposed to be rather easy to repair. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, that's true.
