The RUIO Joy released a week ago but it's just starting to reach store shelves (currently only in JB Hi-Fi). It runs Android 11 with no Google services, has 4G that works on Australian networks, and has similar specs to the Cat S22 Flip (slow quad-core CPU, 2GB ram, etc.) |

Most buyers will probably not care, but it doesn't seem great to ship a phone with an operating system that doesn't get any security patches (and didn't get them for 2 years now). |

It's not dumb if it runs Android. |

If disconnected from services and hardened it’s not terrible. Medical devices ship this way. At the price I’d wager that sufficient hardening of the OS hasn’t been done, but if it doesn’t allow banking / shopping apps and just is for calls and email and text your threat model is real niche. |

Maybe, but without Google Play Services, it is going to be effectively dumb for the general population. |
