Thanks for the info, I suspected it might not be all it was hyped up to be.

be default, aforementioned brand uses iodéos, which is un-googled android. as like biketool said it, you might be better off with unlocked android device and install un-googled android by yourself. many devices cannot be unlocked and images are not available for all devices.

i think linux is available for such device, but uses android compatibility layer, which means android kernel, android drivers and android partitioning. it means it is not mainline linux. i think it is UBports.

btw, there are some devices which uses android kernel and drivers but run linux distribution. but i don't advertise. some cases i don't even want to.
