They look terrible. Their support is at freezing point. Not really this brand.
Appearance is a matter of personal preferences, support is worse, yes.
And when I see their edited os, it's hummus, man.
I have a TW3 and due to ZERO support and no wireless charging never again.
What they have shown in the last two years will be cruelly avenged on them.
