    I think people going for this hardware + OS are more of a function over form crowd.

    90W charging, huge storage option, high quality cameras (I already have a billion lenses on the back of my phone so I just don't give a shit), great screen - yeah I don't care how the thing looks. I care about GrapheneOS support and that it has the hardware to keep it usable for more than a couple of years.

    Right now its between this and a flip phone + umpc for me. We'll see where things go in the coming months.

    Jesus, I don't care what it does to the image quality, I just don't ever want 4 lenses on the back of my phone

    I miss the days of a single camera lens. I wouldn't even mind a system where you can swap the lens for different needs, but having a "camera bump" on a phone is so annoying. I prefer not needing a case to make the back of my phone lay flat on a table.

    at least this one is now horizontal. so if the individual lens does not protrude too much away from the island, like the iphone 17/18 do, it shouldn't rock when it's on a flat surface.

    despite the stupid trend of putting massive islands o. the back of the phone, when well designed it acts as a finger cliff to balance on my hand.

    I hand a large hand so mileage will vary as always.

    Personally, I think it's better than the Samsung Galaxy Ultra series because, on those phones, the camera island goes down the phone, not across it, making magnetic accessories cumbersome to fit on at times.

    The Motorola also looks like it doesn't have a camera island, just protruding cameras. I can't be sure though.

    16 GB RAM

    Will I finally be able to compile stuff and use Nix on it?
