As much as I'd like to have a good alternative to iPhone, and something unusual in the smartphone space, I'm afraid this is just a standard clumsy Android phone with a gimmick back lights:(.
Probably now it's way too difficult to compete with Apple and other top companies in the space unfortunately.
- harhargange 3y agoAs a phone 1 user I'm offended . The backlights are a significant trick to invoke minimalism in smartphone use. Screens are more addictive than led lights. So it is actually useful. You don't need to look at phone screen and then get distracted away.
- jwagenet 3y agoI mean, the lights look cool, but they are too low information and I don’t want the immediate notification anyway. I’m happy to have an always on screen I can quickly check to determine if a notification is actionable and have no problem flipping it back over.
- 0ct4via 3y agoThere are much more important things in the world right now to get "offended" over, than the majority of people not fitting into the niche you found yourself in. Given the "LED lights" can tell you things like if there's something on the screen to look at, it arguably just leads to the same thing in the first place -- and it's not screens that are addictive, it's content. If you get so distracted by an on-screen notification that you need to get a phone with a rear-facing notification LED, you've got much more serious problems.
