Did anyone actually use this phone? If so, what are your thoughts?
It was fine if you kept it in a case. That protects from the errant touch events I mentioned in another comment here, as well as making it so I don't have to look at the back cover.

Maybe unrelated, I've had the phone for probably two years (it supposedly came out two years ago as well - didn't think I bought a brand new phone but I guess I did). Recently (past month or so), it's started rebooting at random throughout the day. I'd do a factory reset if I didn't dread the thought of dealing with all of my 2FA stuff.

That's where Authy backup is gold.

No, mostly because the screen and the hardware were actually pretty bad.

The phone looked good (if you like the design) but everything else was really poor.
