the price is damn high, but the design looks so good, wish for more smaller phones that still have a lot to offer.
Actually a cute phone

    All looks great! But the price… 900+$ that’s too much

        Now that's what I call a great design. I love everything about it except for the price that is simply ridiculously high, just for the name. It's small, light and the curved body is great. Maybe the battery will be on the small side for a decent usage time, even with the small screen and the power efficient chip.

          The design looks so 2013 to me

            reminds me of my old htc desire.

              Cyclonite, 17 Nov 2021$916 for a SD765 phone? I can literally get a SD870 phone w... moreYeah it's a ripoff, but like the article says, it's an upmarket brand selling upmarket products. So not much of a surprise.

              If you don't know the definition of upmarket: "appealing or catering to high-income consumers; of high quality; not easily affordable or accessible"

              It's sort of in the same league as Smartisan.

                What are they thinking? I love small phones and, in theory, I could accept the flagship price for a phone with one camera, rear fingerprint reader, rear speaker and 6Gb of RAM. What I cannot accept is the punch hole front camera in a device that has bezels. That's the laziest design I've ever seen. This should not cost more than $200. I would really like to meet those who will buy it.

                  MagicMonkeyBoy, 16 Nov 2021That is really cute! I agree with the other comment of some... more100% agree.

                  It's not that it's a new design, it's the fact that it's DIFFERENT from today's phones.

                  2012-era phone design with 2020 specs? Heck yeah!

                    SizN80, 17 Nov 2021A battery that is less than 4000mah on an android is never ... moreUhh, not really. It all depends on the display size. You don't need a 4000mAh battery on a small 4.9" display, that's overkill. 3000mAh would already be well enough for this phone.

                    In general, the larger the display size, the bigger battery it needs. That's why large 6.7" phones these days have huge 5000mAh batteries.

                            The look of the phone is refreshing. Don't think everything should be about specs. All the other phones look plain vanilla in the looks department.

                              Seriously? These specs for almost 1000 dollars?

                                    Why a punch hole when the bezels are that thick?
                                    Also, in the name of a compact phone, this is robbery.

                                      BIG bezel WITH punch-hole cutout ?

                                        A battery that is less than 4000mah on an android is never a good idea.
