(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)

For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.

It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.

All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.

There's a software package you can install to root most Boox tablets. Definitely look into it as this will give you way more control over your device.

Here's a solid video covering the topic: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=QtpC9RYK0mw

I don't totally understand why root isn't just a configurable thing on Android devices. I get why it might not ship with access to root, but why do you have the hack the damned thing to get access?

Because it exposes root and system internals. Biggest reason android devices get compromised/hacked and your fun, quirky android becomes a link in a bot net peddling god knows what including attacks against people and other illegal activities and media

Why would you want root? Devices shouldn't make you want root in the first place. Everything you do should stay within the Android system with poker isolation and permissions

Lineage OS + F-droid

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

Whenever you see that with invidious, just click "switch invidious instance". But this one should work for you, it just did for me at least: https://invidious.flokinet.to/watch?v=QtpC9RYK0mw&dark_mode=true&local=true&player_style=invidious
