Specs aren't too bad, doesn't sound like a bad mig range phone and I might actually consider this if it wasn't that they don't sell it here ๐
Seems really awesome and promising however I'm not really trying to have an outdated computer (read: phone) at 600 euro. Not even available in north America right now.
I like what they're trying to do, however 10 years is an eternity in the tech world and if this company doesn't sell enough phones - likely enough of this phone, then whose to say this company will even be around in 10 years, much less have a dev team competent enough to take over support where Qualcomm left off?
This is one of those huge promises that manufacturers make, with little to no evidence of being able to back it up.
Its only 2028 for hardware security updates anyway, so don't think about the 10 years. You could always run any old phone with lineageos on it and get "software updates" from lineage for the same experience.
