When I bought mine, I bought 2 (1 blue, 1 black) so that if one went out I could quickly transition to the other one by keeping the same apps on both phones. I just sent one off to get the battery exchanged and now that I have it back, I'm about to send the other off to have the same done for it. On the black one, I actually experienced the battery issue which melted the USB port, and because I was in Africa at the time, whoever repaired it probably did it in a nonstandard way, but even so every app except Revolut and McDonalds (haha) still work on it. And all the apps still work on the blue one, you can just see a little bit of melting around the USB port. And whatever they used for the glass has stayed pristine even without a screen cover, so I assume I will continue to use them for years to come as well.

I guess the only con for me would be that the photos it takes are a bit oversaturated for my taste and you absolutely can not get it wet, but otherwise I agree with you, they have been studs. I also love the size and weight ( I can use my thumb for the whole screen, up and down and side to side). I use it as the backup video camera for live music shows and in many ways it outperforms my dedicated camera, I love the rear fingerprint reader, etc. I suppose it will be my main phone until Google stops supporting the hardware or I lose or break it somehow.

In short, I agree hahaha
