On May 26th the price of Xperia 10 II was between €140 and €170 now is about €250-300
For the same amount of money there is this Swiss phone which is a Gigaset GS5 rebranded
Otherwise Pixel with Graphene OS or Samsung 9/9+ with /e/OS.
The sad true is that we are far from a real free (as freedom) alternative and the Libem 5 huge problem to reach a some decent results teach us a lesson in a hard way: who control the hardware, control the firmware and who control the firmware control the OS and who control the OS control the app market / store.
Starting from the hardware has been tried and we learn the lesson. The problem needs a different approach because otherwise it is not manageable.
UPDATE
Who massively bought the Xperia 10 II & III at the point to bring their price near to the rephone are most probably the same idiots that we had the chance to see at work here:
- Quick start guide v1.7.3.4 check the VPN section.
Without realizing that they got into a cul-de-sac for almost every specific business/commercial use that it would be possible to achieve with this hardware whatever the OS is running aboard. If I am right in Jolla the saw a huge peak of new users but probably not because few new users downloaded the image and installed onto many smartphones.
Under this PoV, I agree with those in Jolla that continues to deliver truncated images.
