I picked this phone from Backmarket for 70 USD. I cleaned it up and started debloating and slightly degoogling it. The bootloader is locked unfortunately, but you can debug this phone.
It runs very smooth for being 7 years old and running on Android 11 (upgraded from Android 9).
Wifi calling and texting from Delta chat works, i even tried the video calling and suprisingly, it worked really well too. Now i just gotta try out the data.

My daily phone. Its getting a little slow now though
Have you tried debloating it or could it be something else?
I think its just old and been through a lot. Its been in -45c to +56c weather multiple times. Rained on, sweat and tons of things removed and added onto it.
I sometimes cant even use maps and music together in my car or it will just restart
Man, well its definietly been on a journey.
