Thanks for the clickbait headline. TL;DR - "custom firmware project resurrects the Nokia N8, transforming it from a drawer-dwelling relic into a functional device."

It's new roms for the Nokia N8 if you still have one. It's a 2010 phone so no idea if it has 5g or even 4g. Meh. I still have an N9 which is also unusable today because the 3g network here is gone.

I miss Nokia. When I was about to get my first Nokia touch phone they killed it off and started producing garbageware low end phones...

It's cool to see this happening on non-android devices. I mean, yeah, you could install Android 13 on your 15 year old Galaxy SII right now if you really wanted to, but Android custom ROMS for old devices are rarely worth the trouble IMO; they're often missing basic functionality and don't perform great. This is more interesting from a usability perspective. Granted, you still can't use it as your main phone, as it doesn't have 4G.

The battery in mine exploded! By which I mean I found it one day with a big outward bulge in the back. Years after I stopped using it, but still I can't use it for this now. 😭
