Hello all,
Just a short report on my Hisense A5. I received it a week ago and have a better sense of it now. It is indeed a good phone for anyone who wants to focus on calls/messages, text based experiences, and maybe detox from social media, games, etc. I'm not into that much so the transition is fairly smooth from my iPhone. But I decided to let go most of my date there (and saved it to my computer).
The A5 came from CECT, with a protective mate film. I have install fdroid, Amazon app, Aurora store, APKpure and got most of the things I need from there. I also did install microg.
The lack of Google Play and GMS is definitely annoying for some things, but going through a shortcut on a browser usually does the trick, for Uber for instance. I got Whatsapp and Viber to work fine, as well as my bank, internet service provider, security and email app. Only one specific app doesn't send notifications.
Syncing with Exchange has proven to be a problem, possibly originating from my Exchange server (but I m now using Outlook from the browser). I am syncing with Syncmate, but it's not always very stable.
Apps with only dark mode (like Spotify) are a tad annoying to use, but are still usuable.
I am now off to try and find more books to read...
