Very much still in progress (As you might be able to see :) ). My goal is to make a Nokia phone as if it is made in 2025 (or 202X kinda running out of time there and im not even sure how long it will take me) With USB-C, 4G (5G is not planned for reasons), 1TB+ of expandable Storage. I have already sent my first SMS/Call (a call without a mic or speaker to be precise...)

Phones just do too much these days. And I don't get the feeling they respect my time nor privacy. They are also pretty boring as they all look the same. On top of that the current landscape of "dumb phones" consist of expensive phones you could hang in a art gallery, ugly phones with big ass buttons for seniors or inefficient un-optimized phones running android. I wanna change that.

Ha! One look at this and was certain an esp32 was involved! Just left a message yesterday about how I love that little chip so much!

Praise the chip!

Praise the chip! Fucking love looking at that little chip while it computes without breaking a sweat.

Do you know by any chance what the differences are between the different versions? Im a bit overwhelmed when it comes to that... Like what is your go to version when developing. ESP32-WROVER, ESP32-WROOM, ESP32-MINI, ESP32-PICO and all its sub-forms and devKit versions. I could probably just go with anyone of these but maybe there are some pitfalls.

I was trying to look up a very cool video I watched a few times that actually de-epoxied it down to the silicon itself, but it seems YouTube took it down. The actual chip set itself is usually only a few mms^2 like you see in the mini. The only difference, so far as I can tell, is the amount of gpio pins you have access to. And you spent wayyy too much with an Arduino flavored one(other than getting access to the full gpio pin out). But I bought them for a few $s(<$2) for a dozen of the og classics with the rf shield.

I also have fallen hard out of development after working itsec for a few years. My last academic encounter was with the attack with the fan ocilation frequency for an air gapped machine. So that's how out of date I am.
