  • Ah, thanks for the answer, I’d missed this on the GH page. Unfortunately, that’s not what I’m after as I know I will end up with a complete mess of unusable notes or not use it at all if there are any stages of choosing a note type.

    Ideally, I want version controlled, editable, searchable, taggable paper I don’t have to file away, which I can also type on and use other digital tools with (e.g for things like diagrams, spreadsheets). I haven’t seen anything particularly close to what I’m after yet but I’m hopeful that it’ll come eventually.



  • My day to day experience is good. I have worries about the long term issues but it was one of the only ones that had a headphone jack and microSD. I’m not sure I would have sprung for it otherwise.

    The OS could be better as I do get some occasional freezes but nothing particularly bad and that could be the launcher I’m using. Also the software support is shit: they’ve never announced how long it’ll get updates for - previous phones were only 2 years of security updates - and when the updates come they don’t have a changelog (in fact, their website doesn’t even have the latest updates listed but I believe a very minimal changelog turns up when they eventually update the site). Also, there are various things people want fixed or features they want ported (I think there’s some camera options from the 5V that never got made available on the 1V despite using the same sensor), though I only know about these because I’ve had to look at reddit to see what’s changed in an update.

    In terms of the security updates, I’m basically counting on LineageOS support turning up at some point.

    This all sounds very negative but the camera, screen, battery life, and speakers are all excellent. The OS is fairly close to stock android, which makes it less annoying than Samsung. I’m just annoyed that a device that seems built to last, is hamstrung by the software updates.
