A long time ago, I owned a Motorola Droid 4 and Photon Q. Feeling so nostalgic now 🙂
The keyboard on this one is much better - it’s full-sized, and the slider mechanism feels quite robust.

Mine has been collecting dust. The signal is so bad, even on Wi-Fi, it’s nearly useless. I’d feel guilty selling it. And i paid around $800 USD…
The keyboard’s the star here, and it has all the important keys for terminal use (though it’s a little too wide for my hands, I’d prefer a 4 or 5 inch screen version)
Aside from the keyboard it is like a 2018 era generic Chinese android phone with no support or updates.
Physically I feel the balance of the phone is a bit top heavy, with the curves it’s very slippery to hold onto especially using while lying in bed etc.
Sadly the phone’s mother (fxtec) died in childbirth, so to speak. And the whole “XDA phone” thing was a dud, XDA was a ghost town by the time this thing was in our hands.
Big thanks to the guy keeping lineage working on it!
Yeah, I heard that many units have antenna issue. Before buying I asked the seller to test it for me. My unit was unaffected by the issue.
Yeah, the situation with the company is not great.
There actually 4 maintainers for this device! It was a surprise for me. Usually it’s 1 guy.
Nice! I’m jealous.
Even using Wi-Fi in my house, it constantly drops connections. I was hoping to use it to basically VNC to my desktop but it is so slow and disconnects constantly. There’s some speculation that some of the antennas were not soldered properly or something like that.
Mine also has large black dead spots in the bottom corners of the screen, seems like it was over tightened during manufacturing. Maybe that’s also what broke the antenna!
That’s sad 😢
I heard that the antenna issue can be fixed manually, but it’s not an easy fix.
