6.7" with 1600x720 is crazy in 2025.
Crazy good or crazy bad?
Crazy terribly bad

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

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.”
you have just proven that specifications wise it’s a viable phone lol
I never said it wasn’t?
the specs are awful,
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
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.
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… 😔
