Note: this is not a review.
3 years of security updates for 500€ is just not enough. Cool if its repairable but I'd prefer a phone with more updates than a repairable one.
This one has 3 cameras. 1 108MP main camera, 13MP ultra wide, 50MP 2x telephoto. The battery is small at 4600mah but supports 15w qi2 magnetic wireless charging and slow 33w wired charging. Display supports 144hz refresh rate.
Snapdragon 7s gen 2 may not be fast alongside the 33w charging. But, repairability takes front seat here with gen 2 repairability. Plus, unlike most smartphones actually supports an sdcard. Unfortunately, updates take a back seat with 3 years max.
IMO a good repairable smartphone with some compromises mainly the processor and the software update support.
I don't see how this has any resemblance to the n9 though, kind of weird to pick that phone to compare it to.
At least they have wireless charging, that is one way to fix HMDs problem of charging ports failing in the first year from shit-tier parts
Can't speak about past charging ports of HMD. But, this one has user replaceable type C USB port. So, that should not be a big concern.
the battery itself is $25
Kinda steep considering a 3rd party store in Singapore charges a similar amount including labour for a battery replacement for a old redmi note 7.
