Reminder: from August 2021, you'll be required to backdoor your new apps in Google Play. Essentially, for the enforced App Bundle format to work, Google will want your private signing keys, therefore being able to generate a rogue update for any specific person or people. The absence of Google services on your device doesn't necessarily mean that such an app couldn't reach you either – by being signed with legitimate key of the app developer, such a binary can get redistributed anywhere.

This matter deserves a lot of media attention, and the issue gets bigger the closer we are to this date, with no way around provided by Google. Give us your keys, or bye.

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the TadiPhone initiative - the day when I discovered Nubia Mini 5G and introduced it to the gurus on Telegram.
Back in January, I grabbed the last of TP stocks at their top price. Several months later at this point, these 4 units had been idle for long, and many asked but didn't actually buy. I understand that I'll have to suffer some loss to move these units.
I'm now lowering the price to $140. Keep in mind that this is still just for the unit itself, excluding int'l shipping.

I'll put up a listing locally as well (for convenience), but I hope that these last units end up in people who appreciate them, instead of random people who just want a cheap 855.

Big respect to Erfan and all of the contributors :>

All new TP1803 units sold (except mine in Poland). Whatever remains on the Chinese market are the used ones. They're fetchable under 1000 CNY, but the condition varies a bit. Kinda glad to see that some people's unappreciation gives us a buffer zone. In any case you'd be interested, contact @AndyCGYan.

Mmm

So sometimes something worse can happen than an EOL...

At least this proves 100% that Capricorn can boot kernel 4.4

I think like I omitted an explanation that can be useful to some: sdm850 is nearly a 1:1 sdm845 clone that supposedly differs only in extra frequency availability. This means that sdm845 will easily remain as the most available phone SoC that gets Windows driver support for the foreseeable future.

DHL sent ALL PinePhones to New Zealand instead of their actual destinations. How this happened is beyond us. This is a massive blunder on their part, but ultimately I'm the one that gets to apologize - very sorry about this. It will take some week to sort this situation out.
