The earphones have an intriguing, unconventional design that makes anyone wearing them feel unique, preserving the spirit of my favorite brand. However, I am genuinely taken aback by the phone.
The complete asymmetry of the upper third of the back does not align with the symmetry of the lower two-thirds, creating a visual disconnect. Additionally, the removal of the signature LED illumination—replaced by the Glyph Matrix display that was meant to work in synergy with the LEDs—feels like a step back rather than forward.
I won’t comment on the technical specifications, as the true strength of this brand has always been in its unique design, which, unfortunately, has completely missed the mark this time.
I will skip this model, hoping the fourth generation will return to what we loved with the first and second—without the A, B, C, or D suffixes.
