Ok it’s 4G and Android 12, so a little bit behind the times, and weighs over a pound, but it has 65 watt fast charging and a built in 1200 lumen flashlight (I wonder if that doubles as a video light). I found out about it a few days ago and have been fascinated by it since then. The weight isn’t so bad if you consider that it gets rid of the need to bring a power bank.

Not gonna buy real soon but wow. Maybe they will do a 5G version sometime. I posted in another community that I want to be able to pull it out and say “that’s not a phone, THIS is a phone”.

Any thoughts?

    I think you just like it for the 1200 lumen flashlight.

    If I need that kind of battery capacity and illumination, I’ll bring my Skilhunt EC300 and some spare 21700s and use it to top off the phone as needed.

      i’ve had such terrible luck with phone charging (USB connectors crapping out after not that many uses) that I like the idea of very large batteries for less frequent charging. I made another post in c/ultralight about this: https://lemmy.world/post/8305808

        That’s a fair complaint. My phone’s USB port acted like it was dying this summer, but seems to be back to normal now.
