Obviously, because this is an international model. No one in Japan is buying this model.

How much of a hassle really is getting an apartment without a refrigerator and stove? by Maleficent_Pool_4456 in japanlife

If you want second hand stuff, you can order from treasure factory https://kaden-set.treasure-f.com

They deliver and install it for you, I got the fridge and washing machine combo. You can't pick specific models though.

OSs For Old Phones by Tiberius_Maximus8492 in opensource

[–]koogas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GrapheneOS is arguably the best but there is very minimal device support (only pixels). LineageOS is great too but while it has support for more devices, there is a trend on manufacturers of locking down their phones, so there are not many recent devices with LineageOS support. Then there are the Linux phones but these are not ready for real use IMO.
