• Eh… I mean the physical phone itself might be great… but software security for these phones are… um… awful… (IMO)

    Late security updates and only like 2 years of security updates in total

    I mean even if you do manage to unlock the bootloader, last I checked, Lineage OS does not support these phones…

    Might be better to just slap a rugged case on a “mainstream” phone

      Sure but my argument is about rugged phones, my exact circumstances have taken me to use this model, because the “better” manufacturers ignore this segment. But if a better alternative becomes available I’m in.

      I agree, those phones always have really outdated tech. Probably a great phone if you work in a mine or operate heavy machinery and your employer issues it for use on the job, but terrible choice for most consumers.
