Absolutely with you on the last point, but the Subway Surfers mentioned in this Article is a mobile game which has been around since 2012 - they don't splice in videos with actual subway surfing.
Not that that changes much about the article in general^^
FYI the fingerprint sensor problem has since been fixed and I can now use it again without trouble for banking apps and the like. (Although I'm on a Fairphone 3+)
Still holding up fairly well in 2024, even if it's a bit slow at times.
To me this seems like an entirely new console, actually. I wonder if this is the "Nintendo NX" they were talking about or if that was only the codename for this project...
