I do have a question for some advice. I'm looking for a fairly low spec #android #mobile phone capable of unlocking the #bootloader easily. Any recommendations warmly received.
TIA
@sphyphes
Good suggestion.
Have one! Not quite ready as a daily for my usage..
@Horizon_Innovations maybe give the moto g7 a look. I can say from experience the bootloader is unlockable as well.
@koreymoffett
Thanks I'll have a look.
@Horizon_Innovations
I can recomend my sony xperia 10, its reletivly new but spec wise its not bad and unlocking it is bot too dificult. Idk what these gose for second hand, but i would try that if you can find them
@Twelve
Thanks, I'll keep a look out. I enjoyed my Z which I still have - but no updates & as a 32bit system, getting a bit old!
@Horizon_Innovations
I m using both my old z3 compact and my xperia 10. Other then size the old one hold suprisngly weøl up
@Horizon_Innovations Well if you plan to use UbPorts as daily driver i recommend the Volla phone. A modern low spec smartphone that can run either Android or Ubports with official support. Obviously the boot loader is unlocked.
@Aaron_troetcafe_
That sounds interesting 🙂 thanks
Just had a look, & although looks good, is outside of my price range. Looking for something around half of that or a little less.
In Australia, I can purchase 4 or 5 Nokia 1's!
@Horizon_Innovations
I'd recommend checking out the Xiaomi Mi A2 not only can you unlock the bootloader but you can flash a signed OS with verified boot keys and relock the bootloader and have working verified boot! https://hub.libranet.de/wiki/and-priv-sec/wiki/verified-boot
#CalyxOS is available for the MiA2 and has verified boot.
Can pick them up pretty cheap now.
Secondhand also an option!
