2 change(s): 2 moderate | Durability concerns based on Reddit reports of touchscreen failures and devices breaking down after 5-6 months of use, often before warranty expiration. Material quality rated moderate - reviewers note the Active 2 Square 'is starting to show its age' in display and glass quality. Brand reputation is mixed: praised for value/features but criticized for 'janky software,' unpredictable battery performance, and insufficient firmware update frequency to address known issues. Consumer trust appears eroded by reported hardware failures and unresolved software bugs.
