Requesting a full refund

This phone is fundamentally not functional. With no WiFi and atrocious audio, screen and camera functionality amongst smaller but niggling issues this phone can’t even compete with with mid range phones from a few years ago. I thought I was buying a cheap mid range phone but it’s just a budget budget phone that my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS leaves in the dust and with no WiFi even a $50 is more functional.
I’ve sent email to admin requesting a full refund on return of item. This could have been so good, the basic idea was gold.

Super glarie, especially outside.

I removed the screen protector to try and help with the glare. I saw here someone say that would help with responsiveness too, I’m honestly not sure if that’s made a difference. It’s pretty responsive in general.

I agree. Every day, I use this phone less and abhor it more. I does very few things I expected it to do and it is now just a kindle reader.
I’m so disappointed.

Yes, very disappointing. I’ve sent mine back for a refund. Bought a Pixel 9pro and installed GrapheneOS, couldn’t be happier!

I think of GrapheneOS on a Pixel as possibly effective for security uses but not for just privacy protection. You must remain vigilant at all times this is why I use several additional methods of communication. I imagine the Brax3 with iode’OS as the Model T or Edsel is to a Japan built ICE Toyota Crown with vehicles.

I have to agree, no WiFi and I can’t even get cellular data to work, so wish I listened and bought a pixel 8 with graphine. After 11 month’s if waiting for a useless phone. Totally disappointed!
