Agreed; I don't hate my FP4, but it's definitely the least polished phone I've ever owned, and it wasn't cheap for it. The ghosting was a nightmare, but they fixed it (eventually) with a software update...which begs the question why it shipped with a bug like that in the first place.

The company has been around far too long to get away with putting out buggy devices.

And that's before we get to the failure to update FP4 (let alone FP3+) to Android 14, despite being well within their support period. In theory FP4 will be going straight to Android 15, but FP3+ is effectively grounded at Android 13; which considering their stated goal of reducing e-waste, is really not a good look.
