To celebrate a particular movie’s nominations for the Golden Globes next Sunday, Jan 7, we are hosting our very own Golden Lemmy award for Best Android Device on !android@lemmy.world.
Rules are simple, tell us about your favorite Android phone from 2023 in the top level comment, and the device with the most up votes wins the esteemed and coveted Golden Lemmy Award, along with 1 Lemmy Silver.
Our regular discussion will resume in 2 weeks.
Can you root? Does it have rom support?
I haven’t seen anything about it being rooted or rom support yet, but that’s not really my scene anymore. I believe Hisense makes a similar e-ink device that is rootable if that’s a hard requirement for you, although I think I’ve read it’s only released in China so it may be hard to find.
EDIT: From another comment in this thread it looks like the Hisense A9 is what you want if you’re after a rootable e-ink device (and with a SIM so you can use it as an actual phone too)
