It’s kind of a shitty phone but it’s tiny. From a review:
“Some web pages just don't work due to the small screen size - if there's a top and a bottom banner (shopping cart etc.) there's no room left for the actual content”
It’s that tiny. 3” screen, about the size of a credit card, and it has a transparent plastic back which I think is pretty neat
Is it shitty for the reasons you’ve outlined, or something else?
I have one and it's great, zero complaints. The OS runs great, battery life is excellent and I quickly got used to using websites and apps on a small screen. Only downside is no OS updates, but I just put LineageOS on mine.
Oh, there's LOS for it? That's appealing. Is it an official or unofficial build?
Looks like unofficial l, can't find it on their wiki
It's unofficial but it uses a Generic System Image (GSI), basically a non-device-specific version of LOS that's installed on top of the device's stock kernel/drivers. The only hardware that seems to be unsupported is the auto-brightness sensor and the rear LEDs. Resources here. I've been using mine with F-Droid and MicroG instead of google services and it works great, no stability issues at all.
