"They'd actually already been announced in China in March, but no one seemed to notice, not least because there was no sign of any release date, pricing, or actual specs. That makes them look an awful lot like vaporware, though in fairness that's still preferable to a phonemaker operated by the president's sons and accused of "false advertising and deceptive practices" by lawmakers."
"Another point in Dreame's defense is that it at least had physical phones on display at its launch event, which is more than I could say for Trump Mobile so far. Its phones are ambitious too, even if that's part of why I'm confident they'll never truly launch."
"I was alerted to the existence of Dreame's two new phones shortly after I filed last week's report on the T1 Phone's PTCRB certification, though they "launched" last Thursday at a flashy event in San Francisco. They'd actually already been announced in China in March, but no one seemed to notice, not least because there was no sign of any release date, pricing, or actual specs."
Dreame announced two new phones at a San Francisco event, though they were originally announced in China in March. No release date, pricing, or concrete specifications were provided, making the devices resemble vaporware. The phones are positioned as ambitious alternatives to other questionable “nonexistent” phone efforts. Dreame’s event included physical phones on display, unlike the Trump Mobile situation. One phone is modular, featuring a detachable action camera, and the overall lineup is designed to stand out with features that sound advanced but may never reach the market.
