Why can't we go back to small phones? - Infosec.Pub

Well, I can’t speak for everyone else, but I can’t go back because they don’t sell any small phones.
I’ve been maining a Unihertz Jelly Star, I quite like it.
I want one. Can you put a custom ROM on them?

The old jelly pro had a decent modding community, and I definitely was able to unlock the bootloader and root it, though not sure about degoogling.

Yeah, I can’t ever find modders using the new one and I’m not willing to get an old used one.
I am using Unihertz Jelly Star for more than a year now with custom LineageOS ROM. Works well with it. I used this guide to flash it: reddit.com/…/unihertz_jelly_star_running_great_wi…
