Pros
- HMD says the battery, display, charging port and back cover can be replaced at home, with spare parts and guides available through iFixit
- 5000mAh battery that HMD rates for up to 59 hours in its own real-life test, and at least 80% capacity after 800 full charge cycles
- NFC, a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD expansion up to 256GB are all included at a €159.99 launch price
- HMD promises two OS upgrades and three years of quarterly security updates from the global launch date
- 90Hz HD+ screen with up to 600 nits boost brightness, plus an IP52 dust and splash rating
Cons
- Charging is limited to 10W, and HMD's in-the-box list shows only a USB-C cable with no charger
- 4G only, with a single speaker and a 1612x720 screen of roughly 269ppi
- HMD describes the 50MP main camera as paired only with a depth sensor, there is no ultra-wide, and video tops out at 1080p/30fps
- Only 4GB of RAM is physical; HMD's virtual RAM feature borrows free storage to add more memory
