    This seems like a normal cheap android phone with a bootloader-unlocked operating system and some pre-installed ad-block and rethinkDNS’ish Apps imstalled?

    And no offence, but the advertising video itself is more scamy then the wedding-dress shop around the corner that is always closed and dusty, but still paying a horrendous amount of rent each month…

      Yes, it’s just iodéOS, which is LineageOS and microg. You can do this with literally any phone if the bootloader can be unlocked. Even easier if it’s officially supported by lineage.

      From the specs it sounds like it’s like a Vivo Y28s. It’s not that exact model but something very similar. Same features, same soc, has microsd and headphone jack.

      And they are selling it for USD 300. I found this vivo on middle eastern and indian webshops, and it costs less than USD 200.

      So do you think the wedding dress shop is laundering money for a drug cartel?

      Also, is rethinkDNS an alternative DNS which protects privacy?
