Shipped with DHL, that was annoying because they required signature upon delivery and I had to reach out to DHL customer service to get them to drop off at our leasing office, then was marked delivered and wasn't, for next business day. Annoying.Regarding the actual phone itself, I really like it. I have Mint Mobile and have had no issues with cellular service.Screen is the best Eink screen I've encountered on a device, have the refresh rate tweaked on some apps to my liking. (Normally the default setting selected by the OS is good)As another reviewer said, battery life is very much comparable to normal smartphones. I've never had to worry about it dying in a day, but won't make more than that because of how I use it. (Hooked up to Bluetooth earbuds all day, reading, all the different apps I could want on it, checking email, google maps, X, etc etc)Performance is great, I've had flagship devices like the Galaxy ZFold6, S23 Ultra, and others, and the phone doesn't in any way feel slow to me. HOWEVER, if you're expecting normal smartphone performance from this screen you don't understand what you're buying. Watch a user video or 2 on Reddit or YouTube to know beforehand what it's like.Apart from speed, software is pretty reliable and I haven't encountered any crazy issues or bugs. Had an update out of the box, it's on Android 14, and don't really have any performance complaints.Security wise, I used several Reddit posts/research online to remove default bloatware and unnecessary apps via ADB, I use a VPN system wide, and it's connected to a private DNS. So I'm satisfied with those steps, especially in light of the fact that it's Google Play certified!I would highly recommend this. Wanting to ditch a normal smartphone but needing some of the conveniences they offer, it was this or the Light Phone 3, and so far I'm very happy with this.Pro Tip: I installed Niagara Launcher from the play store as I couldn't stand the default one, I've turned off the "Text Enhancement" option in the Eink center under App Optimization for almost every app, and I don't use the auto brightness function because it is so sensitive it's ridiculous. Follow these steps and you'll be happy.

I ordered this phone in April. The phone would not update, was slow at everything including basic functions. The customer service was useless and so I requested a return. They twisted me around for serval months sending me the same form letter and some explanation about some Chinese holiday. Finally said since your past 14 days you have to pay shipping, a restocking fee, and a depreciation fee.

Little buggy, but regular updates actually address them. Battery life is not amazing, but on par with most cell phones currently. Fully functional cell phone with e-ink screen and all industry standard features. I support this brand and look forward to purchasing future releases.

Almost got the Minimal Phone, but took a chance on this. I’m 2 weeks in and I love the device. Coming from a pixel, I’m pleased with the screen, battery life, and overall performance. The programmable buttons are awesome, nice little firmware touches. Biggest downside is I’m only on 4G with AT&T
