You've got mostly the same displays - 7.0-inch 165Hz on the inside, 4.0-inch cover screen; the same SoC - a now-aging... Read more ›

Это путешествие длиной в год началось 14 июня 2025 года. До этого я был счастливым обладателем вот этого андроид-телефона Xiaomi Duoqin F22 Pro с кнопочной клавиатурой и Android 12. Экран у него был 640x960 пикселей. Клавиатура как у любого старого телефона - с двумя контролируемыми под андроидом софт-клавишами и кнопкой "Взять трубку", цифровой клавиатурой и джойстиком. И хоть рисовать на нем с этой клавиатуры было удобно как на сименсах 20... Read more ›
