I wouldn't trust a phone that isn't from a big name, seems like software updates might be a bit lacking.
As far as hardware goes, looks great, aside from the lack of microSD. If they really need space I'd rather they ditch 3.5mm and FM radio.
Also, this doesn't have UWB or a stylus.
- womod 4y agoI agree that the lack of a microSD slot is annoying, though not entirely unreasonable with the whole value proposition of a "ruggedized" phone. The FM radio is entirely baked-in to the MediaTek MT6789 SoC, and uses anything connected to the 3.5mm jack as the antenna for better reception. Assuming this thing is intended for use at jobsites, it's not entirely unreasonable to assume that having a functional FM radio and 3.5mm jack would be desired.
- eternityforest 4y agoI suppose that's fair, I didn't know they still put FM in SoCs. Still, a jobsite seems like a bad place for a 3.5mm. Any jobsite radio will likely either have FM built in, or Bluetooth, and and aux cord is just one more thing to get grime on it and clog your connector. Actually using it for headphones seems like an unnecessary safety hazard that Bluetooth would fix.
