    When I think about it, my phone is like 2 years old. Micro-USB.

      What phone is that? Genuinely curious. Was it actually manufactured in 2022 with micro USB?

        2020, my bad. Checked. In any case it’s BQ-5046L, sort of what you buy when you don’t like the whole idea of Android, but need some stuff for work.

          Even for a 2020 release, it must be an outlier. Actually never heard of BQ Mobile until now. Apparently, they released their last phone in 2020, and in 2021 completely ceased operations. They were probably trying to use up all the remaining micro USB port modules to cut costs or something.

            LOL. Wrong BQ. The one you’ve read about is dead, yes. The one I have a phone from is a Russian noname.

                  I see. Looks to me that they just rebrand cheap Chinese phones and sell them in Russian-speaking countries. I doubt they offer anything extra compared to the phones they rebrand, except maybe Russian translation for the UI.

            Funny I didn’t hear about it. I think they tried releasing something with Ubuntu Phone a few years before, so not a completely worthless company.

            Kinda sad even, pretty normal vanilla Android.
