I had a razor phone 2. Another device made by a company who doesn't make phones for a living.

It was a piece of shit. The OS was buggy on the hardware, the hardware itself was bad, and the charger port was ever so slightly out of standard spec so using a normal usb-c cable on it would destroy the data/charge port. For the last year I used it I could only charge wirelessly, and unless ADB shell has a wireless mode these days, that means its very limitedly useful.

(I finally found a use for it; using it in my car, which has a wireless charger, as a wifi device to carry data-syphoning apps to find EV chargers.. I figure as long as it can’t access anything except when I give it hotspot off my current phone, it’s as data secure as possible while still giving me access to valuable info locked in an app)
