Only 150k? How is that enough to start a production line for 400 euro smartphones? Or is it just a rebranded phone?
I just want a de-googled 200-250€ smartphone with a headphone jack.
Get a Sony Xperia III, update the original firmware to Android 13, unlock the bootloader then install the corresponding version of LineageOS (or any GSI ROM made for 13).
Doesn’t the Pixel 5 have a jack?
I actually had to check, since I never use them. No, it does not.

Well, fuck Google.
Android isn’t at fault here. Get a non-Google version of Android and a phone runs faster, with significantly less battery consumption.
Google services really screw the pooch, as they say. Lineage/DivestOS and Graphene are lightning fast on my 2018 flagship. I get a day out of it now, (with it’s old battery) , when it was new I got half a day…at best. Google Services consume upward of 8% per hour, depending on installed apps.

That’s a good point, unfortunately.
It’s all a result of Android being a monolithic OS. I’d bet when Google bought Android (around 2000, it was still fresh), this was a “kkown issue” and Google decided they just needed to get it out there, rather than develop a standard hardware interface layer.
I’m sure they also considered the advantage to them (and vendors) in being able to force dependence on those drivers.

They’ve always had a power button.
The fact my battery dies in a week when the phone is supposedly off tells me all I need to know.
why the fuck has it always to be an iPhone clone… it’s embarrassing.
