They have a decent 15-day return policy. Looking at it now though, I'm not sure I want it. I'm not sure I want to take the risk either.
Any thoughts?
Depends on what you want out of a phone.
Cons:
No IP 67
Lcd screen
Average camera
Lack of accessory support.
No wireless charging
No headphone jack
Pros:
Materials
Overall astetics and design
Fps in a sensible location
Stock Android
Modularity
Uniqueness. It's not the iPhone or Samsung that everyone else has
