I didn’t even know there was another community at lemmy.world when I joined this one. I joined this one on the recommendation of the /r/Android mods. Looks like the lemmy.world mods have decided to merge with this one, though!

Let me know if you have any feedback about this article 😁

That’s a good point, and I agree: There should be a way to trigger Maintenance Mode remotely, like through Find My Device, should Google implement this.

Android hasn’t used FDE for a couple of years now. File Based Encryption (FBE) has been required instead since Android 10. With FBE, each user has their own credential encrypted storage location for apps, which are encrypted with the credential from that particular user. (I verified this while testing. When you boot and unlock the primary user, other users data at /data/user/{id} is still encrypted until you unlock them.)

There might be, though I couldn’t find any. I poked around /data on a rooted Pixel that had just booted but hadn’t had its primary user unlocked yet, and I was able to access most files in /data/system still.

Sure, the manufacturer could, but they might not provide those kinds of images to their official repair centers, certainly not third-party ones.

Nothing sent me a unit for review which I’ve been using for the past 2 weeks. I can’t answer many questions immediately due to embargo (we’re pretty much only able to talk about the design and new Nothing OS 2.0 features), but if you have any questions, I’ll make note of 'em and come back to answer them once the full review embargo lifts.

1. It did not come with a case in the box.

2. I’ll have to come back to this one, as I can’t do any comparisons.

Yes!
