So, I guess I'll put it out here. Looking for recommendations for affordable #android #smartphones that support esym and have good battery life and performance. Plus points if they're easily rootable with community support.
I like my fairphone so far, the only thing that sucks is it cost $850 in the US. 'Cause terriffs, they say. In Europe it is 450 which is much more reasonable.
Clicks makes a keyboard case for the Razor, I was thinking about that but the phone seemed expensive and I wasn't sold on having a second screen I wouldn't look at. Also I think the keyboard they are using is small and doesn't have a lot of stuff like a number row, modifiers etc.
I am hoping to find someone who can three-d print me a case for the FP6, we will see what happens but seems promising so far.
@prism I liked my clicks keyboard for the iPhone when I had one. Clicks is making a phone called the communicator which is supposed to come out later this year that I'm interested in. Unihertz already has 1, the tyton 2, and they're making another. no esym though.
@prism The other, probably more significant problem, is that if I don't like or can't use the keyboard for whatever reason, using braille input on that screen sounds like it would be an incredibly bad time.
@GamingWithEars @prism Niagra launcher. I use that as my launcher on most devices, and it's fine. It's a vurtical list of apps, which is different, but honestly nice.
I'm following this and would be grateful for advice. Just posting to note that you don't need Esim support in the phone to use Esims. If you see a phone which is just perfect except that it doesn't have Esim, you can work around that, though with annoyance. https://
easily unlocked and flashed, recent-ish ones (7 or later for sure) should support ESIM, my Pixel 7 lasts me a day with my medium-to-light use, performance is good enough to play Minecraft Java Edition (which should NOT run on phones) at 120 FPS or so depending on settings (in other words: fast enough)
