i need a "new" phone. mine sucks. i wanted this one https://dumbwireless.com/products/jelly-star because it's green and small enough to hide from my mother, but it's Android-based, which means i won't be able to do anything fucked up & cool to it. does anyone have any recommendations for me? my needs are: 1) good camera, in case i forget my Canon at home 2) solid build, doesn't break easily, but isn't huge
3) relatively customizable; i can modify it / do fucked up & cool things to it, add apps & emulators, but it can also be simple, non-distracting & relatively private
re 2025-10-30: i absolutely agree; Gen Z does not know life without the panopticon. according to my age, i'm a "zillenial." ugh. ew. anyway. i remember life before quite this much sousveillance, but i still thought people were watching me, even as a kid. i was -- still am -- "mentally ill." i might be cooked. but i cook, too....
