Reusable products are deemed obselete ?
Dancing to their tunes, you are forgetting big picture, get a 2 year lasting e-waste and forced to spend money again.
You must be living in a blooming economy .

      I do not understand what is special about this, hype success, but really, again same as any other 6.7inch tablet with hole and this one is missing NFC and QI.
      Ok it is different in that it is worse than other offerings.
      I still remember ie. MI9t pro that did not need to have hole in display 4 years ago.

        Video playback of 24hours is crazy. This chip is so efficient.

My pixel 6 is rooted (BL is also unlocked) and passes basic and device integrity. Not only can I use nfc, I can also use Google's RCS. I don't think you're hiding root well if you can't get wallet working.

                          They didn't include 3.5mm jack so you will still have to buy their e-waste wireless buds.

                              Of course, if you want to talk strictly in terms in specs and price and how it competes with other phones, it is objectively "inferior". But I really don't think the main reason for this phone's existence is to be competitive.

                              Competitiveness is only one way of viewing the worth of a product. I view it as a unique addition to the market. Like I said many many times, in the end it is all subjective. Maybe let that sink in for a second, yeah?

                              The short software support is kinda disappointing though, I will admit that.

I simply explained gave my experience with NFC, as well as stating that the battery is not as difficult to remove as you might imagine.

                                I do agree that they could've included NFC. I also wish they could've included a headphone jack, but alas.

                                  NeonHD, 10 Jul 2024The battery is still technically speaking removable, no? ... moreYou're defending this phone with your life at this point 🤣 This and the NFC (or should I say lack of it) is clearly a flaw, and considering my experience with other CMF products, it honestly doesn't surprise me.

                                    A stripped down product, compared to similarly priced competitors, is an inferior product. There's nothing really useful about this phone that warrants it's existence apart from further segmentation and flooding the market with another product that won't pass the test of time.

                                      Besides, we don't even know the exact details of the battery yet. It's best to wait for a teardown video from someone like PBK. Then we'll know for certain how easy or hard it is to remove.

                                        NeonHD, 10 Jul 2024An easy solution is to peel off the adhesive, then use a mi... moreWell then they should have made it swappable from the very start. This isn't rocket science. There's a crap load of older removable battery phones they can reverse engineer.
