It’s actually compact, cheap, has oled, in-screen fingerprint reader, stock Android, NFC, Snapdragon SOC, supports GSI and has unlockable bootloader. Seems like a perfect phone (well except nonexpandable storage), so what’s the catch?

    All Android phones support Treble if they have Google services, right?

    I haven’t used a GSI before. How are they? What’s the difference between a GSI and a custom ROM?

      I don’t think so, though I’m not sure.

      Neither have I; I’m only relaying what I read online about the device in question.

      What’s the difference between a GSI and a custom ROM?

      The difference is that GSI is device-agnostic, because all required drivers are on the device and stay there between flashes. ROM have to be device-specific as they have to include drivers. My understanding is GSI compatibility is merely dictated by up-to-date kernel.
