Interesting thread in the forum where a user set up the following experiment:

They flashed an Xperia X phone with different OSes, left them idle without running any apps and then saw how often and where the OS is connecting to by default (tcpdumps).

Results:

- 8.1 from vendor – an expected catastrophe: within one minute, it „connected everywhere“.

Further results:

- – connections every several minutes to a few Canonical and ubports servers – probably tuneable, but behaving like this out of the box.

- X – connects to some NTP servers, to ip4.jolla.com (detection of WIFI capture portals) and some AWS server, exchanges a few bytes and stops; repeats the same process after ~12 hours (probably network clock synchronization).

This is even less than ‘ default connections.
