Screw map is genius

Printed screw map on the midframe saves so much time. Camera bay feels solid.

Good second kit

Did the S1 first. Forge felt like a step up but the guide holds your hand.

Does it support eSIM?

Asked by Chipo

No. Forge 5 takes two nano-SIMs plus microSD. Pulse X and Apex Pro have eSIM.
