There's unihertz, but their quality is unfortunately questionable. I've ordered a Clicks Communicator. It's actually a similar size to a phablet, but using that space for a physical keyboard feels like I'm sending a message to the establishment.
I'm writing this on a King Kong Mini 2 and it's sick, plus it only cost $100
Could work as a banking device....
I want that minus the "rugged tech" aethetic, current gen wireless, micro sd slot, degoogled os options, at least that much bezel, and user swappable battery.
It's got some of those β the camera is shit but it's literally got screws on the back so you can replace the battery, plus it's got 2 SIM and 1 microSD slot. Idk about the wireless or roms
oh neat that all of it is accessible by opening the back. wireless is just because my network provider has dead spots if you don't have 5g because some of the previously dead zones they just put up new 5g towers without the older support.
Oh I see, I didn't know that was a problem that existed :/
If the Aiphor Bluefox NX1 had 5G and wasn't prone to have the screen come loose I would probably try it. I prefer that one's form to the rounded back of the Unihertz Jelly.
But with google working on making android their own walled garden I'm more interested in trying something like Jolla.
