This is hugely disappointing. They launched a worse all around phone and are trying to market it like good news. I was seriously considering them for my next phone purchase, but if this is all they offer when the time comes, I will have to skip it... The only "upgrade" is 2 more GB of ram, but the screen is worse (slightly bigger, significantly worse resolution), camera is worse, no headphone jack, not IP68... They also mention that existing orders for the old version are either being "upgraded" to this new version, or refunded. So it sounds like the original FLX1 is dead in the water. Very sad news.

Debian based phone, hardware kill switches, $550, slow loading product page at https://furilabs.com/shop/flx1s/ (makes me not believe their claim of a fast UI). Phone has an SD slot but no mention of a headphone jack or swappable battery. The phone hardware looks mostly conventional (Mediatek CPU etc). For me personally, this is a yawner, but maybe there is some attraction for some users.
