Isn't it a little early to tell if it's "quality"? It's not been released yet.

A bicycle engineer once told me that there are three criteria in bicycle design, Cost, Strength, Weight.... pick two.

ie. you can't have a cheap, strong, light bike.

I imagine something similar applies with electronics too, even in China.

Absolutely. That's what I mentioned earlier with the current Jolla design. the glass is flat in a plastic insert but the design is screaming out for it to be all glass and curved from the edge. I would guess that's a cost cutting measure though a glass edge might be fragile. Back to "pick two" perhaps.
