Its a heck of a phone, its kinda mid tier in front of the new phones of 2024 but still 6gb of ram is insane in my country and its powerful dude could even play codm

I have this. It's woefully slow but it has plenty of charm. The physical keyboard isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Dtek is telling me how my last security patch was in 2019 and I should do something about it... Like what did...
