The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.

I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.

    cosmetically tweaked

    It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.

    My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.

    I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges):

    .

    This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don’t exist on any phone.

      Yes, I wouldn’t assume the picture has anything to do with the phone (if any) people will actually receive.
