    I may have found a phone for you. It’s called the unihertz tank 2

    • 12gb ram
    • 256GB memory (expandable)
    • 15500 mah battery
    • 60W charging
    • 120hz display

    https://www.unihertz.com/products/tank-2

    Comes with a few other really interesting features you don’t see on any other phone (like a goddamn laser projector?), though i think the processor is a little underpowered.

      That’s kind of insane. From the name I think it’s safe to assume they’re angling for some military contracts.

      From this comparison, I would guess they chose the G99 to cut costs, as the 1300 was announced two months earlier and beats or matches the G99 in every category, including battery life (which is the only thing it seems to be good at).

      How’s unihertz track record with providing updates? This is an important factor to avoid artificial obsolescence.

        What do you mean by track? Unihertz is a small Chinese manufacturer - it makes no guarantees around support and barely delivers any updates to its devices, as is the norm within much of the non-Google, non-Samsung Android market. It’s really only within the last couple of years that the industry has actually made a bit of progress in this area.

          Track record.

          This is a norm to be avoided. A phone without updates (at least security updates) should be avoided at all costs considering the potential consequences.

            I was being a dick and asking a rhetorical question there, because I thought it would be pretty obvious that the support for a small Chinese manufacturer would be abysmal.
