Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but I can't go back because they don't sell any small phones.
I’m clinging to my SE. It’s the last small phone made by anyone other than Chinese no-names. I will be sad when it’s no longer viable as an option.
my Chinese tiny phone has a name, it's the Unihertz Jelly Star. they even have a subreddit, not sure what makes you think it's a "no name" they make a lot of phones for niches in today's world including one with a physical qwerty keyboard.
now the fact that they're the only company filling those niches sucks, but it's better than nobody doing it.
Seems to not be supported by Lineage... I wonder if a more privacy-preserving OS can be installed at all? I don't trust stock ones.
Edit: another comment here links to a Reddit post about installing a modified Lineage there - haven't checked it yet, but seems like it IS possible!
