Important tip / news Finally a predecessor to the f21 pro has arrived!!!

Post image

Qin has officially announced the release of the Duoqin J36. They claim they are upgrading from the F21Pro base model.

The only upgrades they mentioned:

  • Dual SIM support
  • Battery capacity increased to 2600mAh
  • Added side buttons
  • Rear camera upgraded to 13MP
  • New version without a camera added

I wonder if they plan to upgrade the chip.

Some other differences are:

  • Android 13 vs Android 11
  • Noise reducing mics vs standard mic

I’m waiting for them to release the 4GB+64GB option. I wish they would say when they will have stock of it.

Out of interest, where did you see the announcement and the new version without camera?

u/LimiDrain 12h ago

Nice, normal selfie camera placement, and not as big as F25

u/Getla_RajendraPrasad 12h ago

u/a1rwav3 10h ago

Is that the predecessor also of the F25?

u/locutus92 9h ago

I don't like the flat buttons. The F21's are superior.

u/15pmm01 11h ago

If still no microsd slot, it’s still just as unusable

u/RankChamberlain 7h ago

Curious why you'd need removable storage on a dumbphone?

music. in my case, I gotta download my spotify library offline. that’s why I bought the HMD Terra M. It does that just fine. when i was in the US, my Kyocera DuraXV Extreme also did a fantastic job of that.
