Not saying what is what, but saying "it might not get the latest patches" is a poor argument -- ARE the phones getting the updates or not? That's up to the provider, ANY provider, not just them.
It's produced in Taiwan -- where ALL semiconductor chips come from.
It's more expensive than the base phone -- it has a customized OS, shouldn't it be? Still nowhere near the ridiculously high end phone price points.
What if red state is publishing big tech misinformation?
I feel the OP did a fair amount of research to put a forth a buyer beware kinda thread. With his emails and online chat for said phone. Which I appreciate bigly. I think I’ll save my money as well, see where this goes. But some of this does seem shady, esp for $500.
OP mentioned in the comments that he emailed them, did online chat with no replies, for a few weeks, nothing in return. He, the poster of this thread, went out of his way to find info about this phone and received no feedback. And a sign of a product that could have some serious problems right off the bat, IMO. And I was thanking him for his time researching said phone.
The article isn't very convincing.

Thank you OP for the heads up. 👍
What am I missing? I see a link to a red state article -- I don't see emails or chat logs?
