"New" phone received today. It's from 2021 and cost me less than 90€. It has way more computing power and RAM than I would ever need in a phone. But now the bootloader unlocking procedure involves waiting for a week. The stock ROM has google apps in it and as soon as I connected it to internet it decided to install various games. Turning the phone off uses the same shortcut (long press on power button) that also triggers google voice command so it can listen to you.

Also it came without its original box, but the seller included a pre-bent paperclip to use as a SIM/SD card tray ejection tool. I guess someone's job is bending paperclips then?
