    I’m not seeing many compromises here

    That’s because it’s really small. And has a weird square shape. It’s the display. And the fact that they’ve only committed to 2 years of updates.

    It looks very cool, and it’s cool to see actually interesting phones. But it’s not for me. It’s very strange to me that people would rather a physical keyboard and a tiny display. Guaranteed I can type faster on a virtual keyboard…

      They’ve announced 5 years of support.

      And it’s small but not really small. Here is a 3d printed mockup next to a Galaxy S25 Ultra

      It’s every bit as wide, just shorter.

      But I meant compromises that would make it not usable as a phone.

        They’ve announced 5 years of support.

        Where?

        E: site currently reads “We’re committing to a minimum of 4 years of Android version updates and 5 years of security updates.” So good for them for listening to feedback.

        it’s small but not really small

        I’m referring to the display, not the body. It’s 4". Absolutely tiny, and a weird shape.
