    I love archos products because they have the ability to implement reliable products at a reduced price. And the new generations are always integrating a value for money more and more efficient since always. I have my archos diamond 2 selfie and it works very well. My Samsung dropped me and despite the updates, the performance is becoming more obsolete in time. Android Pi for free can not install on a Samsung Galaxy II. so I gave up this idea for smartphones at generally lower prices. no more samsung or apple, too expensive for no bigger performances.

      It's better as a functional device, but this one is more attractive. Which, at the end of the day, is the most important thing to a casual smartphone user.

        "....price of the Diamond is €299..."
        hmmm.. why would I choose this phone over, let's say, an "old" Pocophone F1 which I've seen for €309? Okay, that F1 is the model with 64GB but even then...

                  So who are they relabelling this time? :P Let's see... Gionee RIP, ZTE/Nubia - did that already, some sort of Haier or Hisense?.. nah. It could be an Oppo/Vivo rebrand (considering the chipset choice).

It'll funny to watch who manufacture this one for Archor...

                                  Well on paper, but can't trust their camera software, their last year devices were rebranded Nubias... Useless secondary camera, probably no OIS for 299 euros while other are starting to offer it and Mediacrap.

                                  I will read the review but it does not convince me initially, in addition to how long it will take to scratch the plastic or glass that covers the selfie camera? And, how much to break the pop-up mechanism that who knows where it can be repaired...?

                                    Looks great also with amoled. I guess there is no need for holes in that beauty(as some may argue).

                                      Headphone jack, memory card expansion, no notch. It should sell well!
