I’d be interested to know their long term support in general, myself - have Jelly phones gotten OS updates in the past, or at least security updates? Looks like there aren’t any Lineage builds for their phones, which is unfortunate.

Either way, this looks like a big leap in power and aesthetics for them, and I’m intrigued! Ticks most boxes for me, albeit lacking a headphone jack. Happy to see they’ve hit their funding goal!

No OS updates, unless promised at release. Some security updates, though. They’re GPL violators, and don’t release kernel sources, which makes 3rd party OS images harder.

Devices are generally easily repairable,they sell spares, and their support also sends you parts during warranty period if you ask - I just received a new battery for my titan slim.
