    They have confirmed that you can unlock the bootloader, and are claiming 5 years of updates.

    They have shipped hardware before and seem like a somewhat reputable company. They haven’t made a phone before though so we shall see.

      Aren’t the 5 yrs now mandatory in the EU? And unlocking the BL I can do on most phones. Doesn’t help a lot though unless you do it all yourself. So I’d still wonder if root will be possible. I like to own the devices I buy 😊

          possible, yes. But usually noone does those things for these smaller fringe devices that are not mainstream. So, it’s either do it yourself or be happy you unlocked a bootloader to…have an unlocked bootloader :) And with each iteration of android it became harder and more frustrating. Hence I’m done with android.
