My waifu is calling - Moondrop MIAD01

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

Moondrop is famous for their headphones (and their waifus), but now they're dipping their toes in the competitive mobile phone market with the new Moondrop MIAD01. With budget specs and a great port selection, has Moondrop hit it out of the park on their first try or is the biggest draw to the phone the cute girl on the box?

Here for the "Not good but it works." We need more honest products

Moondrop engineer to marketing dept - 'We're around 6 months away from completion.'
Moondrop marketing dept - 'We started shipping yesterday.'

The "not good but it works" line is "至少可以扫码" (lit. at least it can scan a QR code) on their Chinese website, which has been a meme from geek users who hate that companies are just keep making cameras better and larger in smartphones, because they "take no photos other than QR codes to scan and don't want a camera this big".

"that is a child" is going on my discord sound board.

3:30 How to tell if someone watches anime or not in less than 5 seconds

[AlexLee-jejg]

‘It’s not good but it works’ points for honesty

[Werdna]

2:50 careful with LG TVs. The “do not sell my data” option is turned off by DEFAULT in the settings!
Make sure you turn it ON

[ChodaBoyUSA]

I am so tired of the "make everything thinner at all costs" nonsense. Instead of a camera bump or bar, just make the device a uniform thickness and include a larger battery.

"why is there a school child on my phone"

nah he got the drake wallpaper 💀💀💀

[sonicace]

Since i saw a LG sponsored ad it is my duty to say, Don't forget to opt out of them selling your data because they have it on by default out of the box, Its tucked away in the menus somewhere. They sell expensive products and still want more from you. 😮

[shadowix]

the reaction of 40 yo ppl to anime is always fun to watch

[saadhero]

I don't see any issues with the wallpaper, it's pretty cute.

[AstonGryffynn]

"That is a child" so is half the cast of the game you just played.

[RinoSan]

"It's not good but it works" that's more than enough to sell to me

[thacoolest]

I think the wallpaper is suppose to be similar to something like lofi girl.

[LukasVokrinek]

Every Moondrop product comes themed with a unique anime girl. I don't understand what the outrage is, it's literally one of their selling points. And that's literally an average anime girl.

[polymerizedrecords]

LG being a sponsor on an unboxing of a music centric phone with a headphone jack hurts my heart.

[susibaka]

I'm a simple man. I see an anime girl and Linus, I click
