You know… Nothing is currently still in a phase where it can go multiple ways.
As of know, their portfolio remains unattractive. Their message is making tech fun again. While delivering us a android skin and a phone with (I’m so sorry) a ‘gimmick’.
Look, I’m into their design language. And I absolutely get why they are doing the route they are doing.
*side note, I absolutely love how you’re trying to get IMessage working on android. With now apple starting to adopt RCS. Things might finally start merging. However, wouldn’t it be better if it were a virtual machine running the back end? One that the consumer could theoretically could host them selves using their own machines, making it accessible to a multitude more possible end users.
And although, again I get their choices, I wish they would start getting more of a dbrand kind off mentality and showed an industry the value of having a complete feature set….
I mean, if they would borrow some design choice from LG and Sony..
Supporting expandable memory, having a 3.5mm headphone jack and decent dac/amp (ESS perhaps………), an IR blaster and a man can dream but, user removable backplate and battery so you could have multiple packs.
Would not only giving them a headstart at the new EU regulations, pairing the likes of Fairphone.
But that would end up giving us a tool. What these kind of consumer electronics used to be.
If it would use a chip from last year, than that’s no biggie. (as long we see a decent update policy)
But someone has to realize in the industry that practicality and functionality should come before design.
