I just reviewed the Qin F25, the successor to the F21, and it’s a fantastic hybrid device with a newer Android, faster processor, better camera, and a sleek design. It’s not meant for a full "dumb phone" lifestyle but is perfect if you need something smart-yet-simple for everyday use. You can install apps, customize the keyboard, and enjoy great battery life and storage. If you’re in the market for a transition device, especially outside the US, this is one to consider!
