Alex, 12 Jun 2021What website? Carbon website? Are you that dumb to have to ... moreLate reply, but it doesn't seem to be a scam. Not an obvious one at least.
There are some questionable reviews but I could see some criticisms that have been left there for everyone to read as well.

https://www.carbonmobile.com/carbon1/reviews

One thing that bugs me is that they claim to offer 4 years worth of Android support, yet there is no mention of the device getting Android 11. This is happening because
- they are pulling out because they see it as a failed investment
or
- there are delays since they are understaffed (LinkedIn lists 12 people)
or
- GSMArena hasn't been updated yet.

We'll see how things play out after they release a successor. IF they release a successor.

      I did some digging about the Helio P95 chipset and it turned out that it has the same core configuration and microarchitecture as in Snapdragon 670 and 710. In a way, this is an interesting upper-midrange smartphone.

        It's okay to be an idiot, you just don't have to show it publicly.

Are you that dumb to have to go to the brand website (possibly manufactured) comments to assess that 900$ for phone with a P95 processor and a 2800mAh battery is nothing more than a scam? This people really, like to defend any shit brand they see on the internet scamming people

            If it only had 5G I would buy.

              Sakib3AS, 02 Apr 2021800 Euro is 4/5 times higher than any mi/samsung/oppo mobil... moreCurrently I use Xperia XA2 with Li-Ion 3300 mAh and SDM630. And I’m in deep love with its look and feel, it’s one of all time’s prettiest phones. Don’t care about the old chipset and the 3 GB RAM, never run games by example. Also don’t care about the camera, if I want good pictures I anyway use my pro gear. On the other hand I really hate rounded, punch hole displays, so brands like Xiaomi, Samsung etc. are out of question for me.
              BTW this “small” battery lasts almost 3 days.

              I have just 3 concerns:
              1. Heavy,
              2. Not that good display aspect ratio (16:9),
              3. Fragile, in spite of the Gorilla 4 glass (replaced the display already 2 times).

              So, do you still consider that if the price was just a little cheaper this phone wouldn’t be a perfect choice for me? 😁

                As much as I love this phone for its advanced construction, I do hope that it will have dual 48MP main+ultrawide camera setup and a Snapdragon chipset. Either 730G or 860 will do nicely since this is still effectively a non-5G phone.

                    Xiaomi mi 11 Lite 5G at half the cost and this is still a joke compared to it. Come on now, this is a complete scam for old people to fall for...

                      I'm still amazed, even two months later, at how light this phone can be thanks to the monocoque carbon fibre design. What also surprises me is that they can fit the latest GG Victus glass protection. With a 6" screen and an 18:9 screen aspect ratio, it looks almost identical to the Nokia 9 PureView.

                      But since this phone body was made entirely out of carbon fibre, something begins to hit me: Is it possible to have wireless charging support with a carbon fibre back panel? I deeply aware that phones with glass and aluminium back panel have no problem providing wireless charging support, but no one has ever attempted to do it with a carbon fibre back panel. It would be intriguing to find out.

                          some random dude, 31 Mar 2021It is expensive because the phone is made of carbon fiber.Carbon fiber costs about $15-20 per kg.

                              What tha... is that? A expensive phone with a 2015 specifications and a mediocre chipset and a low battery capacity. I'm sorry, but other brands offers better options and a better quality for the same price.

                                800 Euro is 4/5 times higher than any mi/samsung/oppo mobile with same specifications.. lol.. I'm thinking 🤔 who will buy this mobile with only 16mp camera and 3000mah battery and with old chipset..

                                  Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple phones at 800 eur give you pretty good build quality besides the flagship chip, design, ip68, really good camera, etc.

                                        This phone looks like it comes from 2015. Entry-level chipset and 3000mAH!!!! And it charges at 800 eur. Why this has to exist ?

                                        Buy 700 euro phone, slaps (sapphire) tempered glass and put on (rugged) cases. No need to stresses to much on durability.
