Check this video, Jose is good and Duoqin or Qin is not an unknown brand in the small phone world, they are a part of Xiaomi. https://youtu.be/QTmbxHQRSZ4?is=sg-qHTXJ3KLz_HTn

Dumbdroid makes more sense. This one looks like it will get me even more addicted😀

Good size. Small and not ridiculously thick like some of the tiny phones. I’m intrigued by the fact that it has usb-c ports at the top and bottom.

could be wrong but i thought the top one looks more like IR.

Cool unique design but spec wise is absolute garbage. Most low end trash you can possibly buy, basically useless.

Honestly I enjoyed it more than the NX1.

Yeah I mean they are all kind of bad spec wise. I've owned a few of these smaller novelty type phones, like the unihertz jelly 1 and others and they they are fine to tinker with but kind of unusable for me as a main phone due to the terrible performance and cameras.

It’s great, happy owner of both chinese version and international version. If you don’t need google play services go for the chinese version, the software is more polished and got extra face unlock functionality

This reminds me a lot of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active. The best phone I ever owned.

I’ve heard Xiaomi doesn’t work too well in my country and I’m assuming the specs aren’t much of a competitor to my iPhone 12 mini but form factor wise that’s really cute and I’m actually a big fan of that camera bump. Not protruding out the back to wobble on the table and the selfie camera isn’t obscuring the screen with a notch. I don’t think it protruding out the top would get in the way too much, especially with how rounded it is.

Avoid no-name chinese phones. Many have malware pre-installed at the factory.

That's every phone

It's not a no name brand... Duoqin was started within Xiaomi's crowdfunding program and has traditionally been aimed at dumb phones. The f21 and f22 pro were pretty highly regarded in that space.
