Folding phones are the most fragile, least repairable, most expensive phones ever made.

      That was the peak of pre-iPhone cell phone tech imo

      Same 😢 I’ve been looking around for one for years but there’s nothing that can run deGoogled android.

        No slide out, but unihertz and clicks are both making a BlackBerry style form factor with android and physical keyboard :)

        (Clicks one is called the clicks communicator. Figured I’d mention since that might be helpful to know if anyone wanted to look it up)

          I’m familiar with both. I think it’s possible to run LineageOS on some unihertz but the support is not solid enough for me to risk it. Clicks is fairly new, I think they open source some stuff but it’s not supported by anything deGoogled yet.

            Oops, I think I meant to reply to the same person you were replying to

            I do think I saw clicks say they were talking to a custom ROM project, but I’m not positive I’m remembering that right
