PROS

  1. Innovative Dual-Display Design: Features a full-screen, notch-less front AMOLED display and a secondary AMOLED display on the back.
  2. No Notch or Front Camera: Enables a truly bezel-less experience because the front camera is eliminated.
  3. High-Quality Selfies: The rear triple-camera setup allows users to take high-quality selfies, making it one of the best selfie phones.
  4. Solid Flagship Performance: Powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset with 10GB of RAM, offering smooth multitasking and gaming.
  5. Unique "Lunar Ring": The rear camera module features an LED ring that lights up for notifications, selfies, and charging.
  6. Mirror Mode: Allows the subject to see themselves on the back screen while being photographed.
  7. In-Display Fingerprint Sensor: The front display includes a fast, reliable, and improved in-display fingerprint scanner.
  8. 3D Face Unlock: The rear camera uses a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor for secure and fast 3D facial recognition.
  9. Retains Headphone Jack: Features a 3.5mm headphone jack with a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC.
  10. Dual-Screen Gaming: The back screen can act as a touch pad for extra controls in supported games

CONS

  1. High Fragility Risk: Two screens mean twice the risk of breaking, and the back screen is constantly exposed to scratches.
  2. Limited Case Options: The required bumper case leaves the back screen exposed, limiting protection.
  3. Underwhelming Battery Life: The 3500mAh battery struggles to power two screens, leading to mediocre battery endurance.
  4. Cluttered Funtouch OS: Runs on a custom skin that is considered heavy, lacks an app drawer, and mimics iOS.
  5. Slippery Build: The glass-metal-glass design is extremely slippery and prone to smudges.
  6. No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging, a common feature in other flagship phones of its time.
  7. Not Water Resistant: The device does not feature an official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
  8. App Aspect Ratio Issues: Some apps display letterboxing on the back screen due to its different 16:9 aspect ratio.
  9. Heavy and Thick: The dual-screen setup makes the phone noticeably heavier and thicker than many contemporaries.
  10. Expensive and Hard to Find: The unique, niche, and high-tech design resulted in a high price and limited availability.
