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.
