Comment on This New Android Smartphone Is For Everyone Who Misses the Blackberry

That’s because it’s really small. And has a weird square shape. It’s the display. And the fact that they’ve only committed to 2 years of updates.
It looks very cool, and it’s cool to see actually interesting phones. But it’s not for me. It’s very strange to me that people would rather a physical keyboard and a tiny display. Guaranteed I can type faster on a virtual keyboard…

They’ve announced 5 years of support.
And it’s small but not really small. Here is a 3d printed mockup next to a Galaxy S25 Ultra

It’s every bit as wide, just shorter.
But I meant compromises that would make it not usable as a phone.

Where?
I’m referring to the display, not the body. It’s 4”. Absolutely tiny, and a weird shape.
