Here's specs: https://liliputing.com/moondrop-miad-01-smartphone-with-hifi-audio-features-launches-globally-for-399/
Seems nice. I just wish it had removable battery, like phones used to, so I could carry a spare around, like I used to with Sony Ericsson W200i.
Also dedicated dual SIM + MicroSD instead of hybrid.
Just got an idea, the Galaxy Flip has 2 batteries. Small one, and large one. What if there was a small one built-in, and a larger swappable one. You could then hot-swap the batteries like with some ThinkPads (those with internal + external battery).
Oh look, a "specialty" android device with actual decent specs. Someday something like the Linux phone or fair phone or any of the other "specialty" phones to catch my attention over the years will get it together and do the same lol
Awesome another decent phone outside of the big 3 that yet again doesn't support TMobile's bands. Just my luck...
Fairphone has a removable battery pack, it's pretty handy.
But no headphone jack.
Every phone can have two batteries if you just get a battery pack.
A powerbank is another step in energy conversion and the cables are annoying.
Unfortunately making the battery removable will make the phone considerably thicker and probably easier to break which is not what most of the users want
Iirc, removeable batteries make phones harder to break. If you drop them, the back cover and battery come off, reducing the shock on the display.
Breaking a modern screen by dropping the phone on a flat surface is not that easy. What can break more often is the electrical circuit between the battery and the phone (causing it to force shutdown that can lead to potential software instabilities), the back cover and sometimes the display flat cable thing
