Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.

lol

Another great snip:

a phone designed in China, made in China, with the vast majority of parts sourced from China. I’m failing to find any stirring of American pride within me. I’ve certainly felt it before, so I can confirm that it is absent at this time.

The factories name is America

But that's a coincidence, it actually means beautiful rain in Chinese or something.

Well you're half right, America in Chinese is 美国，美 means beautiful.

I actually thought about the joke because of the Japanese for rain 雨, which is pronounced as "amé". So maybe the name is 美雨.

Golden rain of fat man

HTC probably gave him a discount not to attach their name

[–] villainy@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

So just the fast charging then. I don't think anyone seriously buying this to use has any of the other thing left to give up.
