per @ilmagico@lemmy.world in another comment here:

The old jelly pro had a decent modding community, and I definitely was able to unlock the bootloader and root it, though not sure about degoogling.

I’m not really sure. what happened when it was no longer officially supported?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
yeah the screen is very small but that’s kinda the point for my use case. I didn’t want all the limitations of a dumbphone (i.e. I wanted banking apps, gps, useful browser) but I wanted to add friction to my phone use to encourage me to use it less.

battery life is great, lasts me almost 2 days without a charge and will typically go from almost dead to almost full if I plug it in while driving to work. part of the battery life being so good is that I use it less and keep it in grayscale 99% of the time I figure though.

camera is great, it’s 48MP the same as an iPhone 14 Pro. the pictures don’t look great on the device because of the tiny screen but when I look at them on my computer or the pixel 6 I still use at home they look great.

speaker is pretty awful, it’s fine for calls but music, fuhgeddaboudit! I have a Bluetooth clip on speaker that’s great and I don’t really watch videos on it so non-issue, for me at least.

screen res hasn’t bothered me but again that might just be use-case. most of what I do is reading text and it’s fine for that esp with high contrast on, looks ugly but again that’s friction and I want that.

not sure. stacking niches means there’s a good chance the answer is no though.

if it’s just a matter of specs it should be up to it, the hardware is pretty beefy for a phone, but I figure there’s more to it than that.

personally I don’t have the spoons to pour in the effort required to degoogle. the fact that the algs and few ads I see are completely irrelevant to me suggest that I have thoroughly confused them by how non-standard my internet usage is. I’m not overly concerned about the data they do get or what they do with it.

there are enough Man-Made Horrors Beyond My Comprehension™️ keeping me up at night but you do you

this is definitely a trade off. batteries are either small, tall, or thick. my phone with a 3" screen is quite bulbous.

I prefer that to it being thin and having like 3 hours of use time though
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
there is one option.

well and a couple others that are also made by Unihertz depending on your needs/wants

more companies making them would be cool but the general consensus I’m reading here is that there are 0 and that is incorrect.

you could get a Unihertz Jelly Star like me
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I’m probably gonna annoy people with this but I will shout it from the rooftops

Unihertz makes one.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
my Chinese tiny phone has a name, it’s the Unihertz Jelly Star. they even have a subreddit, not sure what makes you think it’s a “no name” they make a lot of phones for niches in today’s world including one with a physical qwerty keyboard.

now the fact that they’re the only company filling those niches sucks, but it’s better than nobody doing it.

I’ve been maining a Unihertz Jelly Star, I quite like it.
