Doesn’t like it

I had an Atom XL. Unihertz give up supporting their (very buggy) software quickly, and their tech support is poor. Their entire business model seems to be to churn out new phones as fast as possible to pull in new customers. While I'd love to see different form factors being successful, steer clear of Unihertz.

YES. I've just got a unihertz atom xl, I love it. All of their phones are pretty unique - they make one with a blackberry keyboard, mine can operate on DMR radio frequencies. They are not enormous phablets. They do only support Android 11, but I'm not really so interested in bleeding edge Android these days.

I don't know about Samsung, but even some random Chinese smartphones pass the MDM checks these days. I had Unihertz Atom XL as my BYOD work device for quite a while with no issues.

I have a unihertz Atom XL. Pros: - Battery lasts for 3 days with my usage (browsing when not at my desk, whatsapp, a handful of calls, android auto) - Rugged / waterproof (IP68) - Fits nicely in your hand - 48 MP camera - not as good as Pixels, but good - Good dual SIM setup Cons: - Thick; probably mostly due to the battery. Doesn't bother me, but if you wear skinny jeans and carry your phone in your front pocket it'll be noticeable - Just got Android 11 - The built in walkie talkie is something of a gimmick since it chews up battery in standby/monitor mode. I thought it would be a useful backup since we live in the sticks w/o reliable phone signal. Get the Atom L instead
