I am so irritated by my iPhone lately that I want to love this and adopt it, but…the specs are awful, and it’s made of plastic. Ugghh. I’m so conflicted
For context I did up a comparison of my iPhone to the FLX1s
iPhone 16 Pro vs FLX1S
Why is dynamic island a feature? Seems like a good thing that something doesn't have that nonsense, since the whole thing is a workaround for having a hole in your screen.
I wasn’t even sure what that was, honestly. Is that the oval space around the front camera?
Yeah exactly. The gimmick created around the fact that there's a hole in the screen where the front-facing camera is, to mask the glaring hole like it's a feature instead of a drawback.
“There’s a giant hole in the screen. And we think you’re gonna love it.”
“And if you don’t, then fuck you.”
It's not an iPhone competitor. What's the point in completing 2 devices which such different prices. The iPhone is 2x the price of this thing.
Same feeling thanks for the table comparison
I would pay double for better specs. Like, clearly, because I did. This Liquid Glass nonsense feels like a gimmick from the 00’s. Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave. He’s probably been rolling over since all the stock buybacks started.
Same.
you have just proven that specifications wise it's a viable phone lol
I never said it wasn’t?
well the screen is weird, and why is this USB 2 (really, what's behind this? the fairphone 6 got a downgrade to usb 2 too), but that's it. oh and the plastic but I guess it depends on what kind, it can be ok
I want tap to pay. It’s thing the mainstream phones have that Linux phones don’t that I want. Well that and wireless charging.
The FLX1 had wireless charging. And a headphone jack. And a replaceable battery… 😔
