...what's with the weaksauce speaker, camera, LCD-TFT screen, eMMC storage, low RAM and processor?? It's basically a low-end device. But they put some awesome features that we've been wanting for years, features that have been removed from the luxury/flagship market. Still, this is a low-end phone. And they want to charge upwards of USD $460 ?!!!? Yep, they don't like us the consumers do they :'(

    Nobody will pay 290 bucks for this.

            User-replaceable battery and charging pins! Cool! The rest of it, considering the price... not so cool. The chipset is weak by current standard, battery could be better (but is replaceable, so not that big problem). And have I read well that it has no fingerprint scanner?

              YUKI93, 04 Mar 2021"It can be charged through the USB-C port at 15W or us... moreIt's basically just 2 exposed contacts at the bottom of the phone. "pogo contact" is meant as retractable spring loaded contacts inside the charging cradle. When you place phone into a cradle, "pogo contacts" will be pushed down by fixed contacts on the phone. This ensures good contact as spring loaded "pogo" contacts are pushing at the phone. If you had fixed line cordless handset back in the 90's or early 2000's, this is the same thing.

                    YUKI93, 04 Mar 2021"It can be charged through the USB-C port at 15W or us... moreMagnetic I suppose.
                    Remember those two dots beside old sony z phones (z3 was last)? That was for charging.
                    I think it is same thing here.

                      "It can be charged through the USB-C port at 15W or using a cradle that connects to the two pogo pins."

                      Now that sounds interesting. I wonder how the latter is even possible.
