After countless delays, the crowdfunded Saygus V Squared handset was labeled by everyone as vaporware, but this might have been wrong. The phone has apparently cleared the FCC and might finally reach the market.
The last time we heard about the Saygus brand and its V2/V Squared handset, it was about eight months ago and more than two years after they announced the device's launch. However, now they come with a new claim that should be taken with a large spoon of salt.
Team Saygus has recently posted the following message on Twitter: "Passed the FCC! Filling out paperwork now. Some LTE bands still in process... its the 'crawl through mud to paradise' of startup reality!" If what they say about FCC being already behind, then "some LTE bands" should not be "still in the process" and, this being the most important part of it all, the handset should be in FCC's database.
Considering the above, there is little hope to see this phone this year, but one can only hope. Some people have been waiting for almost two years now, and this is just a phone, after all, not an aircraft carrier.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
