The experiment started with Linux, gradually reducing the available RAM through boot settings until the machine refused to start at all. Even with a tiny amount left in place, basic tasks became painful and slow.
Bigme’s phone is refreshing from the start. The HiBreak Plus and its 6.13-inch screen make it clear that simplicity is the priority in an increasingly complex world of smartphones.
