    When are we going to see bootloader bypasses/vulnerabilities on mobile devices? Being stuck with the vendor’s shitty Android build sucks.

      Dont buy shitty android phones then. Gotta get the higher end, big name phones that actually take care of the boot loader. Pixel phones come to mind.

        I would include any phone that doesn’t have basic features like a headphone jack or a SD card in the “shitty phone” category. Pixel phones come to mind.

          Uh, Android supports using sdcards, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and also nvme drives. Literally just get any usb-c adapter for your use case.

          Id go for an nvme drives over sdcards though.

            Using any kind of adaptor for features that have been and still easily could be native is shitty.

              Id rather have a good ip68 rated phone with shitty adapters than a shitty phone with native 3.5mm port and sdcard slot, but to each their own.

                The removal of headphone jacks or sdcards have nothing to do with ip68 rating. It’s to sell adapters and to make you pay a lot for extra storage

                  Oh man, FYI you can’t get above an IP65 rating with a headphone jack alone unless you manually cover the slot each time.

            I don’t want to have to carry a dongle around to use things that should be built into the phone.

                I’ve needed my phone to be water proof exactly once in the 20ish years that I’ve had one and that was in 2006. I think I’ll manage without it. I use my headphone jack and SD slot every day.
