I'm not personally interested because of the lack of headphone jack, but I have always thought their marketing was going to have an up hill battle because of the name and I saw this quote in the article "Nothing is made better by its community" and it made me laugh.
They look decent although 3 years is not a lot. 4 would be fine.
Its a lot more than most Android OEMs outside of Google and Samsung. And for a device that (as far as I can tell) doesn't have a lot of other compromises? It's not too terrible.
The storage options are disappointing. How hard can it be to make a 512gb if not a higher storage model. Maybe, if there was a way to expand the limited fixed internal storage of a smart phone..
It's kinda weird that there isn't a 512gb tier. Since it's kinda common in that price range.
Reckon it would support Linux?
The only Android OEM that ik gives Linux Kernal software is Sony.
