Mode1 retro 2 Exploded
(i got my money back but not the import tax) last year, i bought the retro 2 as a replacement for my glitchy old A-line samsung. i had the retro 1 for about 2 years from 2019 which was significantly cheaper (£35 used vs almost £200 nib for the 2) and broke down with natural use, but after a month, the battery exploded whilst charging and started a lithium fire. it was a miracle that i was both there in the room and that i hadn't fully migrated the content from my old phone. Please don't buy one, if you still want an android flip phone check out the myriad of options for the elderly or one of the Mive phones from Korea. even before the explosion the build quality was Shocking.
