Making an open-able phone with accessible screws be a gimmick rather than actually repair-friendly? Yea nah... just a marketing scheme

[subsy]

Wait. Going through that R&D for making a cool design with easy access to the internals, but not making the internals accessible in a repair-friendly way and NOT letting the user replace a battery? They were close to convincing us they care, but that quite literally shows that they don't. There is literally NO reason to have that battery warning for this phone.

damn this phone cheaper than daves onlyfans

[gleesmw]

if you have a 3d printer (or someone that has access to them ..etsy) making custom backs or accessories doesnt sound out of the question for this. Thats kinda cool to me

[malekaburub]

the fact that you can see the battery but they took extra measures to prevent you from replacing it is so wrong I don't know from where to start

[tjgan-hnib]

I think this is the perfect phone for parents to buy for their kids as their first phone, from the catchy bright colours to the lanyard.

[Nick]

I was actually considering it... Until the lack of NFC. Wireless charging isnt a big deal but contactless payments are kinda a standard now on modern phones

[TheFreckCo]

I agree with Dave that a more premium version of this phone would be awesome, with more advances modules or even custom ones, as well as custom cases.

Someone is moving in the right direction, quite original. Makes me question how much we overpay for electronic devices in general.

[flick--spadegaming]

I love how this guy is short quick, to the point and no BS.

I saw the Mr.WTB video then came here. This is more information dense and value add in < 1/3rd the time. Very impressive

[Tommo_]

honestly all the drawbacks are completely valid for the price. the removable back would make me run this caseless since if it gets scratched up it's easy to replace. something i'm too scared to do with my pixel 7 and that glossy rear.

[BeniKenesei]

That big bottom screw gives me ipod touch vibes, loved that thing soo much

[bas]

Boy oh boy Louis rossmann is gonna rip them a new one 💀

[goblinslayer]

the user accessible battery is cool and all, even if there's that seal on it, however what matters is providing original batteries for purchase after a long period of time, original batteries are almost always difficult to acquire, especially a few years after the release of the phone.

[lamatakbertemu]

Am I currently observing a deceptively repaired mobile device?

[lemovision]

This is gonna be great for 3d printing your own case and accessory

[WhenItsHalfPastFive]

no nfc, no google pay, no tap payment system is such a strange choice. I'd argue that's one of the main functions of phones these days. Horrible

[thejaideeparora]

Dave doesn't fuck around. Always to the point reviews. Love it!

[ColinZtmnf]

A higher-end version of this phone with proper software updates and nfc would be an instant buy for me.
