Has replaceable battery, ARM64 architecture, sim card slot, USB OTG support, sd card slot, uab type c and no front camera. Ships to europe. Also, I don’t want most of the budget to go for the camera.
minimum: • decent charging and internet send/recieve speed • multi-touch • android 8 or 9 • no annoying bloatware and restrictions (unless can be disabled with ADB) • 2gb ram (1gb free average or less) • 16gb storage (max 8gb system usage) • 60hz refresh rate • 16:9 aspect ratio • screen that can be dimmed to very very dark • can emulate nds games at 50-60fps • very long battery life (8 hours wih airplane mode off) • Runs well 8 years
no front camera
That sounds impossible, I don’t think that even exists now.
Android 8 or 9
Really, next thing you’ll want are Windows 7 PCs? All these OSes are no longer supported, no one is going to sell that new.
I unfortunely agree with your first point. I prefer older OSes because newer ones are usually filled with more garbage.
Of course you’re allowed your opinion, but what exactly are you referring to by “more garbage”? Are you sure you’re not talking about bloatware installed by phone/carrier companies that’s completely separate from the actual operating system? Also, just like PC operating systems/there are OSes designed to be extremely lightweight, with low system requirements.
Security-wise, using any older OS is a terrible idea, IMO. As long as any personal information will ever pass through that phone, that is. Even if someone discovered a way to remotely hack your phone, eavesdrop on all your interactions, and steal your information, it wouldn’t be patched, even if the vulnerabilities were published. These old OSes literally aren’t supported anymore.
With that said, I wish you good luck in what you’re searching for…
I mean TTS, “Phone Boosters”, animations and other things I don’t need.
Not everyone wants to void their warranty or risk making their phones unuseable.
Someome being able to remotely hijack a device that is running an os built by Google doesn’t make sense. I don’t know exploits that work like this.
