Notes
MediaTek Helio G81, 4GB/64GB, microSD to 256GB (32GB card included). 48MP Sony rear with autofocus and flash plus an autofocus front camera, and a retro camcorder filter mode. Removable battery - most coverage says 1,550mAh, one outlet says 1,850mAh, so treat capacity as unconfirmed. IP44 splash-resistant, not submersible. No NFC. Android Auto unsupported. SID-chip ringtones, preloaded C64 games and Snake, C64 Ultimate Wi-Fi remote support. Five colourways. Bear in mind this is a revived brand shipping its first phone - no delivery track record yet, and the price fell 20% before launch.
