I’ve been needing to buy a new phone and while I’m here in china I’ve seen some really intriguing options only available here.

obviously the telemetry is extremely problematic, more so than non chinese phones, is it feasible to try remove with adb or the universal debloater? since there is custom rom support at all? or should I just forget about it?

    I’ve been buying OnePlus for years and they’re as good as anything, even factory. Relatively easy to install custom firmware on.

      I’ve got a OnePlus, but it’s the worst phone I’ve had and I’m looking forward to it breaking. Could be my model, but I’m permanently done with the company

        Which model is it / what’s wrong with it? Might be something for me to be aware of.

          The Nord N10, I bought it because everyone in the store recommended it at the same time. After my experience, I’m pretty sure they were paid to say that

            My impression has been that the Nords are not very good, I’ve never gotten one though.
