Trip report: that phone I found is in fact not waterproof; the ports are wide open, there are no gaskets anywhere, and the manual and warranty warn against contact with liquids. Since that was the main selling point and I don't want one of those jumbo "survival" balls of orange rubber, I'll just stick with my current zte dumbphone and its qwerty keyboard.

Also, its A2DP didn't work, so the bluetooth music sounded like rear end coming through the phone audio protocol. Weird, since it's the first chinese phone I've had that didn't do that well

Aw poo poo I ordered a similar model lol

e: reviews are dope

Good phone with a very powerful sound and powerful flashlight. when you insert the SIM cards noticed the battery from the phone almost two times more than usual, which provides the phone settings. the way the battery, was inside packed in protection which should be removed when entering into operation (probably for avoiding blank operation). the only thing that would like to change it saver brutal men with arms but they seem to be sewn and do not change, and we bought the phone for the elderly women it would be flowers for it would be better approached. will order another one.

Looking at the spec sheet, you may have found the only thing that it isn't capable of doing:It transmits FM, so that's why it can't receive it.

It doesn't have an aux-out socket: but I bet you could find one that does and use your phone's FM radio (if it has one)

As much as I like cheap chinese crap you can probably buy a new car radio for 30$ and not dick around on your phone when you want to change stations or get in/out of your car

this thing is a normal car stereo for adults and you wont swerve into a pole while cursing your phone's touchscreen

Today I received my first AliExpress item since this thread started:



I'd been looking for a new clutch to take to gigs / clubs for a while but couldn't find anything I liked until AliExpress came to my rescue. It seems fairly solid and well made and they even threw in a gaudy gold ring with a big fake diamond as a freebie.

Congrats on your stab bag ! I like that it's transparent to make security checks easier. I love China

Touchscreens in the car are a pain in the rear end. Give me buttons and knobs. Source: just uninstalled my old touchscreen and installed a 1 DIN regular rear end bluetooth unit

Yeah touchscreens are probably the worst kind of interface for anything car. Buttons can communicate their function via shape/behavior/feedback but a touchscreen has to be looked at, correctly pressed because otherwise the lovely overlay will get confused etc

I haven't tested the bluetooth yet but at startup it blasts a gently caress off loud opening movie credits sound, there's no option to make it silent lol

Now to check if someone makes a shortwave/gsm combo

Omg it works as an FM radio without plugin headphones in.

Gonna take a very risky bet and say the back is a single shell of matte rubber and the screwheads are molded elements

Nope the screws are real ! There's a little screwdriver to open the back and pop 1 or 2 sim cards and a micro sd in there.
The battery is hella huge and says it's 5200 mAh on it. There's a menu option to charge an other phone with the usb plug that's hidden near the bottom.
It's really thick and pleasant to handle.

I wouldn't dunk it in water because it looks like the case is two halves clipped together, we'll see how it holds-up.
There's also a little flashlight on the top that turns on with the orange button. So far that's that's an excellent way to spend 37.79$

Is it accurate to the rendering shown here?

It looks identical to me.
other remark: there's no 3.5mm plug to put headphones, or maybe it's hidden somewhere who knows

e: For some reason every menu item in the main menu is illustrated with a huge picture of a 4x4 american car

I cheated and bought it from rageon. Not sure about size because their sizing chart doesn't measure things the same way as other sizing charts I've used so it might be off a bit since I bought a large (but may have wanted a medium)

Will still take a few weeks to get because they have to order it off AliExpress lol

I really hope they aren't reselling the AE one. That's a 65$ price difference and I doubt the artist sees anything close to this.

How about get the cheap one and paypal 50 bucks to the costa rican artist, that's probably like king money over there. His gmail is conveniently found on his deviantart
