18 July 2024
The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.

If it had been a 6.8 panel I would have thought about it despite the poor hardware of that soc, but a 6.5 panel naaaaa

          This actually looks good ..other than the 7s gen 2. If it was 7 gen 3 it would have been amazing.

              Rounded screens only work with rounded frames. Makes it look overly cheap like they couldn't be bothered to make the screen fit properly.. It's ugly on the front.

                    Except the design of the N9 was good and carefully thought for its SIZE. Which was NOT a giant monstrosity like this phablet.

                    A giant phone witg very sharp corners is such a *great* idea... Might as well put some blades on the edge too.

                    This is what happens when you go to your Chinese ODM and ask them "just copy the design of this phone from 15 years ago into a modern smartphone". Without putting a single thought about what you're doing.

                    But that's what the Home of Mediocre Devices has always done. They're grifters, nothing more.

                    Fortunately, they'll be closing shop soon enough.

                                The price might need a second rethink, but this looks to be a far more compelling buy than the Sony Xperia 10 vi, and I said that as a Sony smartphone fan.

                                    "the company calls Gen 2 repairability, enabling you to replace a cracked screen or a failing battery in under 10 minutes."

                                    Hmmm

                                    Then gen 0 (back in the day) - 10 sec to replace battery...progress?
                                    And you are proud of going backwards?.

                                    Plus, marketing this with 2/3 years of support? Someone should get fired

                                      Haven't even fixed the bugs on Pulse devices then they release this sh1t! It's a Pulse device with clipped on corners to make it look like Lumia and just better specs.
