    I feel like most of these are at least misleading if not outright false (or maybe I’m misunderstanding them, so please correct me if I do).

    • Allow custom ROMs: It does, and there is even a Google-free variant they sell on their store.
    • Dual SIM and SD card slot: There may not be dual slots, but there is Dual SIM (one physical, one eSIM), and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a phone with multiple SD card slots.
    • Programmable “moments” button: The button is not programmable per se, but there are different settings to make it do different things.
    • No dumb accessories: If you don’t find them useful, don’t buy them?
    • Headphone jack: Fair enough, I do miss that one, but the USB-C with an adapter works okay, and I’m still using the same headphones that I’ve used for years.

      I do this as well, but I would also like to charge the phone while I have my headphones connected to it, and all these additional adapter chains often don’t work very reliable, and are much more cumbersome to deal with.

      ur right bout the first two… i updated the posts content becuz of it (som hours ago)

      but the accessories - see - i like the idea, bzt sadly they opted for a screw-on desgin… which then made the phone have two black screws on the back, in places where ur fingers would be… whivh spawns a big uncomfy feeling in me - so its mostly a personal thing-

      but yes, ur points r very valid n i agree.
