Almost. My previous smart brick was the Ulefone Power Armor 13 with the endoscope. This one is the Unihertz 8849 Tank 4 Pro. The new Tank 5 has a 2K projector.
I just needed to get off of iPhone and couldn’t afford the phone that I wanted, so I got something within my budget with the best gimmick so that I’d find some joy in it.
ah damn and i wanted to guess unihertz but decided not to lol. i was thinking about getting a brick like that but their custom ROM support (or lack thereof) puts me off. is the stock OS bearable on your unihertz?
Bearable, but only barely. It’s still significantly better than iPhone, but I honestly nearly bricked my phone the first weekend I got it because I was trying to root it and put it into a red state boot loop. In the end, I had to run a full firmware upgrade and reformat the entire phone, manually add the IMEI/MEID, recalibrate the gyroscope, and refocus the projector.
When I have some more time, I’ll probably try it again. If you decide to get a Unihertz and try rooting it but get stuck, send me a message. I documented everything that I tried and what eventually worked, so I might at least be able to help you restore functionality.
let me guess, Ulefone, Doogee, or Oukitel?
