i hope i don't start flaming sandbox argument here.
kaios has been disappoiment for me, core of kaios is okay but it is bundled with preinstalled stuff from manufacturer and google. and user cannot uninstall that stuff out unless device is hacked and rooted. in this case root means adb commands and editing some stuff. btw, does it sound similar to average android!?
but there is another point, which i think it is bigger on its own way. that specific model does not support volte, or at least support is low. in short, you may have totally useless device in near future. other kaios devices may have functional volte though.
good news, some stores, i don't advertise, start to have some technical basic phones with volte. although, could be european frequency bands only. but i think there is u.s. version as well, problem is that u.s. carriers are picky.
