A year has passed since Commodore, the computer brand many of you know and love, came back from the dead under new ownership. The comeback is picking up pace too, with a lineup that already includes multiple Commodore 64 Ultimate editions, a C64X PC, and a licensing program that invites outside builders to use the name. Now, they have announced a return to the phone market, and not in the doomscrolling glass-slab avatar we are all used to, but in a retro, very equippable flip phone format…
Higher end camera and a HD DAC (maybe high power audio output?)
Those sorta things are expensive
Also it runs 99% of android apps
Probably also a low volume product which increases price
I’m certain that the number is inflated by the massive amount of slop and shovelware that is in the play store. The missing 1% is the apps that you actually need, like banking and such
They actively hardcoded all web browsers and most social media (except WhatsApp) to be blocked from installing, hence the 99%.
The social media I understand, but the web browser block is going to severely limit market appeal.
