HMD has done a decent job with their recent phones at making them user repairable.

Too bad they don't come with an unlockable bootloader

What makes do? Genuine question, I havent bought a phone in ten years.

[–] Crazazy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Essentially what it comes down to is that I cant put a custom ROM (so not Google's version of Android) on my HMD phone, which is unfortunate because that means I'll only be able to have "verified" apps on my phone in the (near) future

Next two years is gonna decide if custom ROMs even survive...

GrapheneOS gonna need all support they can get.

Otherwise, it will be a long slog to get to something similar with Linux based phones
