FLX1s is Launched

  This is hugely disappointing. They launched a worse all around phone and are trying to market it like good news. I was seriously considering them for my next phone purchase, but if this is all they offer when the time comes, I will have to skip it… The only “upgrade” is 2 more GB of ram, but the screen is worse (slightly bigger, significantly worse resolution), camera is worse, no headphone jack, not IP68… They also mention that existing orders for the old version are either being “upgraded” to this new version, or refunded. So it sounds like the original FLX1 is dead in the water. Very sad news.

  6.7" with 1600x720 is crazy in 2025.

    I wouldn’t really care for that. OLED would be more import than screen resolution. But that surely depends on the use-case. I don’t game on it and don’t watch media. Even if I’d do, it would be fine on this tiny screen.

      The screen is huge for a phone. This type of screen resolution can damage the eyes on a large screen (the lower the dpi, the greater the strain on the eyes to bring the screen into focus).

    I want tap to pay. It’s thing the mainstream phones have that Linux phones don’t that I want. Well that and wireless charging.

      The FLX1 had wireless charging. And a headphone jack. And a replaceable battery… 😔

    Why is dynamic island a feature? Seems like a good thing that something doesn’t have that nonsense, since the whole thing is a workaround for having a hole in your screen.

    • Reverendender@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I wasn’t even sure what that was, honestly. Is that the oval space around the front camera?

    Same feeling thanks for the table comparison

    • Reverendender@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I would pay double for better specs. Like, clearly, because I did. This Liquid Glass nonsense feels like a gimmick from the 00’s. Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave. He’s probably been rolling over since all the stock buybacks started.

  Never heard of, but sounds great. I was also lucky to read “based in HK” as I feared it’d be us-based 😊

  But…what about the camera? Is it worth anything?

    Not high spec but the concept is in the right direction

      Oh dang…that really isn’t a good selling point. Would’ve bought the older one for more instead a downgrade for the same. Why the heck… More profit? My enthusiasm is slightly dampened. Not much competition anyway 😞
