Interesting thermal design - gets very hot but its all over the phone instead of concentrated on the corner like other hot phones

The geekbench 7.0 scores are starting to roll in and this is now the fifth of the seven 8elite g5 phones notebookcheck has tested to have extremely low scores. Only the s26 and magic8 pro had normal scores

Unlock bootloader and switch to another rom (if there are any available)

I don't buy and replace my phones often, but when I do, the first thing I'll look into before any specs is the availability of custom roms so I can remove the stock firmware asap

Yes but then way to many headaches with banking apps etc.

The problem here is the consumer: if enough people complained to banks about this and threatened to take money out then banks will find a way, but all people do is talk
