I picked this phone from Backmarket for 70 USD. I cleaned it up and started debloating and slightly degoogling it. The bootloader is locked unfortunately, but you can debug this phone.

It runs very smooth for being 7 years old and running on Android 11 (upgraded from Android 9).

Wifi calling and texting from Delta chat works, i even tried the video calling and suprisingly, it worked really well too. Now i just gotta try out the data.

Apps being used: (everything except from Trip Plans and Grab are downloaded from Droid-ify)

Trip Plans: this is the app i gotta use to communicate with my group on my trip. This and Grab are the only "Google" apps on here.

Below 7h for a few nights and I am not productive and get angry easily. So its no question for me. I'd change jobs if I had to, my body is important to me

I used to be like that too and then i got used to getting no sleep for a little while. Like getting less than 4 hrs and then going to work in the field or going on my weekend hikes. My sleep schedule was crazy bad for a while until i started feeling that i needed sleep. I need at least 5hrs and im good, anything under im not doing anything and sleeping in.

I am not sure how the body can adjust really. Maybe you get used to it mentally, but I am not sure if the slower reaction time and risks for cancer, dementia and things like that are still fhere or not.
