might have just nailed it. But then you keep using it. You know, you install all your apps, you get into your routines and you go through a few battery cycles, you really start getting to know it and use it. Durability test it. And then you start to notice some things that you didn't initially pay as much attention to. Like, not every app plays nicely with these aspect ratios, which sometimes is fine, it's just kind of inconvenient or makes like some awkward black bars on the side or a bunch of blank space. But also sometimes it means apps are critically broken. Like when I try to play crossplay, don't judge me. Uh, the play button is completely unavailable to me on this phone. Like the front screen is too short, but then also the inside screen is the wrong shape too. I cannot get that button to show up. This game is literally unplayable on this phone. And there's also no flex mode. So you may have noticed that awesome, upgraded spring-loaded hinge that makes it more satisfying to open and snap shut. Also means there is no half-way open position. So you can't use it like the ultra. You'll notice when it's closed, things sound fine and it's stereo because the speakers are at the top and the bottom of the front side. But when you open it, both those speakers are now on the left hand side of the phone. So you'll notice like watching full screen video, the sound is kind of lopsided. It's just all coming out of the left side of the phone. And I'm not gonna lie, it's just all come out of the left side of the phone. And you notice that lining up on certain wireless chargers is also tough on this phone, especially the ones where the phone is supposed to sit up and use its height to align. Like a lot of in-car chargers just don't work. And there's no built-in magnets in the phone. So a lot of chargers I used to rely on, sadly, not usable without a magnetic case. And it's also a big time rocker on a table with no case on. And probably the most obvious shortcoming of them all, less cameras. I mean, it's a thinner, lighter, smaller phone. So in pursuit of having enough battery, there's less room in here for cameras. So you're gonna get a less capable camera system. And it's also a $1,900 phone, which is this is, and that's kind of hits a little harder on not having some of the best cameras.
