These specs actually seem really solid for the price point, I’m glad to see decent alternative smartphones popping up that actually have some power.
What’s bugging me is the lack of information about the software. Apparently this is Android with a layer like Hallium to run a Debian userspace on top? And yet they don’t advertise that fact. It’s just a little off putting that this product seems to be aimed at Linux/general tech enthusiasts, yet the company seemed to miss the fact that those customers tend to really like knowing what they’re running under the hood.
I thought $500 for only 6GB of ram is really disappointing.
I mean, I use maybe 3-4gb at any given time, without limiting myself. I personally don’t need heaps of RAM, 6gb is enough to have some overhead for me.
I haven’t looked at too many prices recently, I’ve had the same phone for a while, but this doesn’t seem to unreasonable imo, especially considering this is the first product from a small, new company.
Oh wow 3-4 is great. My current android phone is using 9Gb out of 12. It’s insane. I have no idea what’s using it all.
I hope that since this phone isn’t running android, 6gb will be enough.
It should be. With zram, I can use similar software even on a 2 GB RAM device somewhat comfortably, unless I open too many tabs in Firefox.
