๐Ÿ—‘ Why it entered the Trash Bin

Repeated navigation restarts, ghost touch after long-term use and an over-sensitive touchscreen meant the phone could no longer be trusted when reliability mattered most.

Major practical advantage: Extended Memory Card

โ€œDedicated with eSIMโ€ means the microSD card can use the shared physical slot while the second mobile line runs through eSIM. This gives the memory card a practical dedicated position during eSIM use.

Regional limitation: eSIM is not available in every country, carrier or model variant. Without a dedicated SD slot or usable eSIM, the user must choose between physical SIM 2 and the microSD card.

Specifications may vary depending on the model variant and regional market. Always verify the specifications of the version sold in your country.

Critical Issues

Rejected as Pal Phone

Factory reset note: A reset appeared to improve ghost touch in our case, but the phone was not used long enough afterwards to confirm a permanent fix. Backup and reconfiguration may be required.

Editor's Note

Hardware is not everything. A phone can be fast, beautiful and well built โ€” and still fail the most important test: can you rely on it when it really matters?
