Or maybe their phone sucked. Which, apparently, it did. Especially the camera.

I have a PH1, I got it new for 400$. It is by far the most premium experience you can have out of all Android phones for that price. 128GB, excellent screen resolution & contrasts, good perf, very nice looking, clean Android, etc...

The camera has been improved. It is not the best camera on the market but still quite good. They are 2 camera so you can have depth of field.

I don't have any complain except the lack of jack and Wireless Charging

Looks like the phone launched at $699, but slashed the price down 30% last October. So yeah, it's been cheaper than the Samsungs of the world for quite a while now.

Not familiar with any issues besides the camera.

It's also completely impossible to repair and the screen cracks if you breath on it wrong (contrary to all their claims about toughness they advertised so heavily when they came out with it). By impossible to repair, I mean quite literally no one including them will repair it, if something goes wrong they will send you a new one at a slight discount, but given how expensive it is that's not much comfort since you can still buy another brand of phone cheaper (I think it was $200 off, which is a bit better now that they've dropped the price, but still insane for a "repair"). It's a serious waste of money. Looks nice though. EDIT: I say it looks nice, but the polished back was a stupid idea; everyone complains about their phone being covered in fingerprints, so if you do mirrored metal guess what happens… it's the worst phone I've ever had for looking dirty.

Mine was the buggiest Android device I've ever owned (headphones not detected, random reboots, volume rocker not responding, etc). I returned it rather than exchange. That said I have friends who love theirs.
