unusually competitive imitation

North Korean clone

Yeah... nothing about this is competitive at this point. I wouldn't trust any of my information with this device, unlocked bootloader or not.

Wait... I might be genuinely stupid here... but do North Koreans have internet access?

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

North Korea has its own intranet, essentially. About a decade ago, it got leaked on Reddit. Pretty mundane stuff. A news website, a recipe forum, etc.

And I imagine they can access the Chinese internet fairly easily

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks!

this shit is just rebranded chinese phone

Despite a spoofed 120Hz display claim, its eye-friendly dimming, strong telephoto macro performance, and unlocked bootloader make it an unusually competitive imitation

GET LINEAGE ON THIS SHIT ASAP!!!!

Was gonna say no graphene but id imagine it doesnt have the requirements for graphene. IMO lineage or stock aosp none of the other roms afaik (especially calyx and /e/) are worth installing due to lack of security updates.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Graphene is only leading in security updates if you choose to run their closed source builds. Otherwise the difference in security updates between open source Graphene, Calyx and Lineage (can't speak to other Roms, have no experience with them) is usually days.

Closed source builds? Isn't the point of GOS is that it's hardened and OSS?
