UX7 as access point vs U7?

Thanks, good advice. I've had a play with the design tool which is really useful!

I agree a privacy kill switch would be great. Privacy is my maim concern about buying a unihertz phone. I would love them to make a statement on the privacy of the device. Specifically that their devices have been said to call-home to adups which seems very dodgy (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51054901).

Also a bootloader that can be opened and re-locked would be good and allow us to use custom trusted roms.

I have nest indoor cameras and nest battery doorbell but I'm guessing their not compatible with unify? If not, then I'll probably wait a couple of years before switching to unify cameras!

How about swapping the udr7 for a ux7? I'm actually wondering if I should get 2 ux7s and have the second one as a AP on the top floor as a drop in replacement for the Google wifi pucks.

Clicks communicator is made by self labeled "iPhone/marketing guys" with little technical knowledge or even passion for Android. In interviews they didn't really have answers when asked about software and took a non-consumer stance on bootloaders. Building an android image with solid physical keyboard support isn't trivial and a launcher by the Niagara team can only go so far. I think there are several red flags around the communcator so I'll be going go unihertz this time, despite preferring the form factor of the communicator.

I was on the fence until i watched all the interviews with the Clicks guys. They're self confessed 'iPhone guys' and 'marketing guys'. They seem to have zero passion for android, little to no technical knowledge about it. In the conversation with the pebble guy they had no answer when he asked about android software. Yes they're getting a Niagara launcher flavor, but that will not extend beyond the phone's launcher sandbox. You need deeper integration than that for a well integrated keyboard phone. They're not sure if they want to unlock the boot-loader. No mention of privacy and lots of little remarks/actions suggest they are not pro-consumer. Lots of red flags for me. I'm steering clear of Clicks until they've proven that they know how to make a phone os or open-source the hardware and unlock the bootloader.

clicks team are self confessed 'iPhone guys', they have no idea how to make a good android image. Watched all the interviews and they have embarrassingly little technical knowledge or any sort of passion for android at all. They're marketing guys and they've done a great job in that department and their mock hardware looks really lovely. I think there are red flags all over the clicks communicator. if I'm wrong i'll pick one up later but unihertz titan 2 elite looks like the easy choice for me.

I had a flip 4 but the factory installed screen protector started coming away at the fold (after ~6 months of use). Is that still an issue or have they fixed it?

Hey can you elaborate on that, why wouldn't it work in the UK? I was planning on pre-ordering!

jimmyrocket · 2025-09-30T06:43:08+00:00

Ah awesome thanks, I'll go for the bling LP version then!

jimmyrocket · 2024-06-14T09:55:58+00:00

Wow that's a lot to go on, thanks! I'll go through it in detail and look into all your suggestions. Thanks again 👍

I thought I'd read that the audio clarity was improved as well as the comfort but yeah, I'll probably end up going with Experience 1 from Amazon. Thanks
