God it’s a brick. I mean it’s HUGE – and very, very heavy. There is no way you’d keep this beast in a trouser or jacket pocket – seriously, you just would NEVER.
This isn’t a review – just a few notes, some of the specifications of this phone are truly exceptional – so please go and read them!
- CAMERA
Dreadful. Sorry, it’s horrible. Download the free Open Camera App and use that. It at least makes some sense of the 21Mp available. - SOUND
Actually very good, especially since there is just one loudspeaker. - PORTS
USB – C, no headphone jack (but an adapter comes supplied). - Android 10 – fine I guess, as long as you want to do ‘Gestures’ to go back, or release a page or App from the screen – otherwise a rather naff option quite honestly. One number ‘up’ never always means ‘one number better’.
- Programmable buttons (“quick access”) buttons – don’t use them!
Whatever thing you assign to these buttons will unfailingly be there waiting for you to dismiss once you can read the screen – as you just cannot help pressing these things when you pick up the phone. - Side-Mounted fingerprint reader – patchy performance.
Actually, because of its positioning – it’s more likely to be a thumb-print reader. When it works it’s fast. But it doesn’t always work – honestly – sometimes – it’s . . just . . . nothing.
