Hardware
Wi‑Fi
It is not possible to select a Wi‑Fi network during the initial setup; you cannot enter the Wi‑Fi password, and this cannot be done via the UI afterwards either.
After restarting the device it is possible to connect to Wi‑Fi.
Camera
Camera app works but only with one camera; it does not switch between wide and ultra-wide lenses.
GPS works. Cold start fix took ~1 minute.
Cellular works. GSM: 5G, VoLTE (T-Mobile NL).
Bluetooth
Device finds and connects to Bluetooth headsets.
Plays music through the headset.
Switching between music and phone calls consistently fails: the Bluetooth headset disconnects and then produces no sound. This has happened multiple times with different headsets, especially when first listening to music and then trying to make a call. It appears the switch between Bluetooth profiles does not work correctly; when switching from HFP/HSP the Bluetooth connection drops entirely.
Fingerprint scanner. Works quickly and reliably.
Display. Auto-brightness works. (It was not enabled by default, which made the setup screens quite dark.)
Physical buttons. All hardware buttons work.
USB. File transfer/ adb, USB dock / convergence works (via dock: USB keyboard/mouse, HDMI monitor).
Software
Lomiri greeter: I set a numeric PIN but the on-screen keyboard appears where previously a numeric keypad was shown.
Browser
Browser works with sites such as GitLab where earlier versions had login issues.
YouTube test videos play fullscreen.
DRM-protected videos (for example NPO Start in the Netherlands) do not work. Enabling the Widevine plugin does not complete correctly: the device shows "downloading" while the progress bar is at 100%; after ~15 minutes I had to force‑close the browser.
Convergence
Display, touchscreen, external mouse and keyboard, and Wi‑Fi work.
The top bar is much larger than before and is dark, which conflicts with the icons; window information is not displayed.
Ethernet works! but there is no indicator icon yet.
Snap LibreOffice does not work; in fact no snaps work.
When disconnecting from the dock all programs are closed, so you cannot continue working on the go.
Other. The icons and clock are now neatly arranged and perfectly visible around the punch‑hole and curved screen edge in the top menu bar.
