Using Android doesn't make it a scam.

  The scam is they are selling it as anything other than "phone with fewer features"

    That’s not a scam, either. They’re not being dishonest about what the hardware really is. They’re probably at least being unrealistically optimistic about the future software, though.

      Yes they are. It's not an AI assistant. It's a smartphone with fewer features and slightly different form factor.

    Are Android tablets a scam too?
    • iancmceachern 3y ago
      No, because the title is honest. An Android tablet means exactly that. An "AI Assistant" does not. That implies it's something much more than it is.

        Why is it not an ai assistant?
        • iancmceachern 3y ago
          This reviewer seems to think it wasn't all that "assistanty" https://youtu.be/ddTV12hErTc?si=WGJLu6TwzYVgQ5wE https://youtu.be/ddTV12hErTc?si=WGJLu6TwzYVgQ5wE

            So? A scam is a scheme to profit by using dishonesty. Making something poorly, or cheaply, or not to anyone's liking has absolutely no bearing whatsoever as to whether something is a scam. Things can be (and many things are) gimmicky, early development, cheaply made, or made to someone else's preferences in a completely honest way. This is that.
