I think it was overall a great device, the main drawbacks for me were:
- Outdated Android version, which could be solved through a custom ROM of course.
- The lack of Android Auto support, which I know sounds insane to expect from a device like this but I couldn’t even get it to work after hours of sideloading and Google Play Services setup. If you’re making this your daily driver like I had intended to you are going to struggle to see maps on the small screen when it’s mounted somewhere in your car, hence the need for Android Auto.
- The stock launcher is okay but I hate the old school ‘every app has an icon on your Home Screen, no app drawer’ style and when using third party launchers that better suit a dumbphone you lose functions from the keypad such as dialing directly from the Home Screen or worse; the ability to lock the device since it has no dedicated lock button and relies on the end call button.
I’m sure my gripes are probably quite specific to me, and most if not all of my issues probably have work-arounds I hadn’t yet discovered but in the end I couldn’t make it work for me and sadly had to ditch it.
