    I want a phone that’s also a mini 1080p laser projector.

    My phone is also a 720p projector. The new models project in 2K and have full prism polygon trapezoidal auto adjustment, not just keystone like my phone.

    Also, there’s an infrared camera and a 1200 lumen camping light. But only an 11Ah battery… But it’s got the IR blaster! Only two clicky buttons, and one is dedicated to the camping light.

    No pull out antenna, but it would be really weird to put a pull-out UHF antenna on anything when modern digital antennas are so much more compact and efficient.

    This phone also has literally the worst camera I’ve seen on a phone since my Nexus 6 Shamu. But there’s an active cooling fan built into the phone, and the whole thing is so heavy that my toes still hurt from when I dropped it on them over 3 hours ago.

        Almost. My previous smart brick was the Ulefone Power Armor 13 with the endoscope. This one is the Unihertz 8849 Tank 4 Pro. The new Tank 5 has a 2K projector.

        I just needed to get off of iPhone and couldn’t afford the phone that I wanted, so I got something within my budget with the best gimmick so that I’d find some joy in it.

          ah damn and i wanted to guess unihertz but decided not to lol. i was thinking about getting a brick like that but their custom ROM support (or lack thereof) puts me off. is the stock OS bearable on your unihertz?

            Bearable, but only barely. It’s still significantly better than iPhone, but I honestly nearly bricked my phone the first weekend I got it because I was trying to root it and put it into a red state boot loop. In the end, I had to run a full firmware upgrade and reformat the entire phone, manually add the IMEI/MEID, recalibrate the gyroscope, and refocus the projector.

            When I have some more time, I’ll probably try it again. If you decide to get a Unihertz and try rooting it but get stuck, send me a message. I documented everything that I tried and what eventually worked, so I might at least be able to help you restore functionality.
