Impressive design, marred by retrograde hardware capability, and abysmal OS QA.
Although I am stunned by how easily repairable it is (swapping batteries is trivial), and how durable its construction and material composition is, the software QA of its default AOSP distribution is abysmal; KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH frequently breaks, and the brightness was unable to reach 100 % for nearly a year before it was remediated. They previously operated a GitLab instance to assist in bug triage, but disabled it two years ago.
