That stuff had been on my mind for way too long.

I was considering getting a USB-C - jack dongle, but they seemed annoying to carry around, and I wanted to avoid potential damage to the USB-C port by plugging it in and out multiple times per day (USB-C still seems finicky to me for some reason)

Also, I always like to have a backup device so that I'm not locked out of everything in case something happens to my primary phone.

The device is nice so far, really impressive for the price (got it for 180€ second hand with 1 year guarantee at a second hand shop).

I see it more as a connected music/video player than anything else, and for that it serves it purpose perfectly.

Fellow g84 user here. Almost a perfect phone.

Dual sim. Call recording. Stereo speakers. Loud enough. Oled screen. (slight tint.) Headphone jack 5Ah battery Super light phone. 5G. 12 gigs ram. FM radio with some reception sans cable. Soft rear cover.

Biggest downside is the camera as there's no optical zoom / telephoto lens. Also if you take a photo in low light and leave the camera app straight after taking it, it's gone.

For $AU299 it's hard to beat.
