It's got a headphone jack so I can overlook all the spyware.
Flock cameras Meta AI Smartglasses are kinda similar
Random screenshots? Hmmmm sounds like microslops recall ‘feature’
Basically the same as any other phone, except tailored towards them. Nothing unusual there.
We’re gonna see these features in the US soon 😂
Glass skin is such a dumb trend.
Imagine writing in one of those phones this sentence: 😂👉🏼 I want to eliminate Kim Jong Un !!
The alteration of words is interesting. Reminds me of 1984 and "Newspeak".

scribble tattoos on WSJ
I feel sorry for the families of defectors
Didn't a tech youtuber do this exact video... last year?
If the phone is $250 and a soldier earns a dollar how did he afford the phone.. interesting
I can just imagine Trump seeing this phone, "wait, so you can make a phone that automatically bolds my Name?"
Probably coming to the usa

Why is the lady looking so plasticky.. skin so smooth
Type Winnie the Pooh
Wow that's crazy, I'm glad we don't live in a surveillance society like that, instead we just have Flock cameras everywhere for safety.
