It's actually compact, cheap, has oled, in-screen fingerprint reader, stock Android, NFC, Snapdragon SOC, supports GSI and has unlockable bootloader. Seems like a perfect phone (well except nonexpandable storage), so what's the catch?
All Android phones support Treble if they have Google services, right?
I don't think so, though I'm not sure.
I haven’t used a GSI before. How are they?
Neither have I; I'm only relaying what I read online about the device in question.
What’s the difference between a GSI and a custom ROM?
The difference is that GSI is device-agnostic, because all required drivers are on the device and stay there between flashes. ROM have to be device-specific as they have to include drivers. My understanding is GSI compatibility is merely dictated by up-to-date kernel.
