"It will run Android, naturally, but it has been retouched by one of the OS’s original creators."

Does that mean it will be less buggy and not get more bugs with each update?

      Everything was perfect until I heard "No 3.5mm jack" T_T
      I mean sure. I got an iPhone 7 and I can PERFECTLY manage without headphone jack because There's an adapter built in. AND the galaxy S7 I got. and the design is gorgeous!
      oh well. Nobody forces me to buy it.

          Information stated is inaccurate:

          "Initially the Stellar Grey and Ocean Depths colors will be available, to be joined by Black Moon and Pure White later on."

          should be the other way around:
          "Initially the Black Moon and Pure White colors will be available, to be joined by Stellar Grey and Ocean Depths later on."

          Thx

              1. Edge-to-edge display is no longer unique - Samsung and Xiaomi have been doing this for so long.

              2. It's a nice camera hardware, but I would've loved to see a 960fps Slow Motion video as well, 'cause this phone isn't a cheap one.
