Blackview BL9000.

It's a huge cellular brick, weighing 400+g, 2cm thick, chunky boy with protective case. Doubles as a self defense device and will remain functional afterwards. Reignited my love for big and heavy things.

Normal phones are ruined forever for me now. Going from my phone to a normal one my wife has is like going from a normal phone to a credit card and pretending it's a phone.

It was rather cheap, solid hardware, most people complain about the bad camera, but i find it completely sufficient.

Main issue over software came later, about a year in they did a software update during which they started to send ads under system messages. Cant turn it off either, though at least i can turn it to once a day and silent, though they have increased it to 3in1 by now and just found out that it saved a preview picture of the ad to the devices temporary folder. Not much of a space issues, though annoying as those did came up when searching for pictures.
