But no wireless charging and USB-C 2.0; and just a small 6.31-inch screen.

Other manufacturers will have to adapt to this EU removable battery standard by 2027 and other repairability measures.

So no worries till next's Hypocritephone 7 ... and also you HMD.

Who knows, new tech will arrive by then without need of a battery?!

I wish it were smaller. A lot of us with small hands prefer phones around 5 inches, larger sizes cause us to hurt our thumbs with repetitive strain injuries. Over 6 inches is still way larger than I'd like, I'm gonna buy this phone but I hope I don't hurt myself because it's a 10-year commitment.

As far as wireless charging goes, it might be a nice perk in some phones, but I believe they specifically opted out of that because the power efficiency is a bit worse, as more of the energy gets wasted than with a regular charger, so it's less environmentally friendly. As a company that focuses on sustainability, I think their choice here makes a lot of sense.

The biggest issue is the outdated processor mid-low end processor. Even some 3 year old processors have better performance.
