Americans have psyopped ourselves into playing pointless blue bubble status games and in turn have ignored basically every cool innovation in smartphone form. Meanwhile you can get some truly gonzo Androids. They can’t stop wont stop making weird and cool phones 

Case in point—the new WP200Pro 5G, by Chinese manufacturer Oukitel

The phone is built for outdoor adventures. The water- and dust-resistant smartphone body features shockproof casing, an aluminum frame, impact-resistant glass and reinforced rubber.

On the back of the phone is a small additional screen that can display notifications. This screen can be popped out and placed into a wristwatch accessory, or put in your ear as a headphone (!!!!). 

$699.99 — I’m tempted

moment recorder without border

I remember when this made the news, it was actually a good PR for huawei outside the US

The Huawei P30 Pro was so awesome the USA had to cripple it to protect Google's profits. 

Pixels only became similar hardware-wise years later.

(Probably same for Apple but no one outside the US cares about that blue bubble nonsense.)

i can't remember the brand, basically a flip phone the size of iphone when closed, when flip opened, the top section is actually double stacked, but its thickness is the same as bottom section.
at the top section, the part where its facing you can be rotated 360º freely, when rotated 90º cw or ccw, you get a + looking shape that enables you to record wide screen from the left & right lenses that are positioned in between the 2 stacked parts

idk if this makes sense

What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen?!
