Unfortunately it’s a scam. I can’t actually find any genuine trace of the company. I backed the phone on indigogo along with a lot of others. I will NEVER back anything with indigogo again as they’re almost as bad as the scammers they let get away with it. NO SUPPORT, NO BACKUP, NO NOTHING. Mony Mint and indigogo rip off merchants together

                Love when companies take advantage of gullible people to make a quick buck and have complete disregard for the amount of e-waste they are producing. This phone doesn't even support enough of the global bands to be useful as a "global phone", 3 of the cameras on the back are fake and just for looks. The processor is so bad I wouldn't want anyone to suffer through that. The screen is so small that advertisements can take up 50% of the screen when you're trying to look at anything. I really don't understand who their target audience is other than ppl who don't understand anything about phones in general and have a strong sense of FOMO so they all jump in on the so called "discounted" price. Even if this is targeting someone who ONLY does phone calls and texts on their phone, I highly doubt this phone has any level of good audio quality from the speaker or the mic considering how cheap it is. I also can't imagine trying to text on a 3 inch display that probably maxes out at like 300/400 nits of brightness. That is unusable in outdoors sunlight conditions.

                I'm just upset because the more I look at this device, the more I feel like it will become someone's e-waste in a month after purchase...

                  I would not call a 3-inch screen useless because I do not always watch videos or play games. It is usable to the extent that most people need it for social media, texts and phone calls. The iPhone Mini is too expensive in comparison to other devices I want and iOS runs on it while I prefer Android.

                    when companies make phones like these, try putting in a better chipset. this phone is just merely a gimmick and 480p cameras in 2021 is just unacceptable.

                      Rp, 06 Jul 2021I would love to have a 4.5" screen phone which is very... moreI agreed.
                      4.3" ~ 4.5" phone was enough for daily use.
                      It's big enough but still comfortable in your jeans' pockets.

                        I have Unihertz Jelly Pro.
                        the size is similar, but the Unihertz one has removable battery and microSD slot.
                        I used it as backup phone, but now i mostly use it as MP3 player.
                        The only reason i stopped using it as a phone is because the keyboard was too small for my thumbs, and unfortunately Unihertz didn't provide a built in T9 keyboard.
                        I tried downloading many T9 keyboards apps that available in Play Store, but nothing work as expected. So i finally gave up using it.

                            Wereweeb, 06 Jul 2021The reason people usually complain about large phones is be... moreBud, thickness is just as important. Nobody wants to carry around an 11.5mm brick.

                              For Running I use an Apple watch in a combination with iphone 12 mini. The phone goes well in the back pocket of running dress and watch is where it belongs. Great combo.

                                as much as i loved having small AND lightweight phones, I also understand the downsides of it, like usability, which is BIG item in my priority list. Currently, I just wish Samsung has created another (newer) Galaxy s10e. It is small and light without sacrificing functionality and usability. Anything smaller will start to badly impact usability, just like what the reviewer has mentioned for this ultra-small phone. I guess the hope is now to wait for sliding, rolling or folding phones to take flight.

                                  immediately i realize this looked suspiciously like a rebadged China phones I see floating around the internet. I have seen a lot of these kickstarter products which are merely rebadged cheap chinese products that have existed for years, albeit not very popular because most 1st world countries wouldn't be bothered to check.

                                    Thickness has no negatives.

                                    You know what can be a problem? Battery capacity. Which can be eliminated if the manufacturer has an efficient internal design, to make use of said thickness.

                                      Jeez, it looks like one of those iOS Android copies from a decade ago. The CPC has really killed creativity from the country.
