(it’s a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn’t have cellular connectivity)

For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.

It’s a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.

All the marketing materials don’t say which CPU it’s using except “Qualcomm octa core CPU” - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they’re using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they’re using it’s a leftover found in some warehouse and it’s already unsupported by the manufacturer; they’re forced to use android 11.

    Why would you want root? Devices shouldn’t make you want root in the first place. Everything you do should stay within the Android system with poker isolation and permissions
