I don't play pokemon go and i don't have plans to do that.
Of course is navigation still possible. But if the map should orientate the right way, it needs a moving vector to get this done. So if you stand somnewhere in the country or move just slowly it's harder to tell where north is and where south.
So I have given away a compass for a FM Receiver. Don't know if that is a good move...

Same thing -- maps is my main use case for these devices ; Compass is what sold me the N9 over the N900 despite the loss of keyboard. This time, I have to trade off both keyboard and compass for double the RAM which I don't really require to begin with (even when using the Gentoo chroot...).
I'm really tired of this. I don't necessarily want high-end devices, but why do I have to think of trade-offs at this level of cheapness?
Navigation is GPS, not compass. Compass provides orientation even without physical displacement or GPS fix.
It means no Pokemon Go nor any kind of geographical AR, though.
Intex specifications page mentions accelerometer, not sure. You can turn the AR off and get prerendered scene, again, ekkelund will need to confirm if catching pokemon works, he said the app works and GPS does, not sure if he caught anything

/me *sighs* and goes look up the price of the Fairphone.
(Note that it's not about PkGo of course, but I did enjoy Skyview... and of course, maps...)
EDIT: The Jolla C is too lowend for my taste, and the Fairphone is way too highend. Probably will keep the Sbj as main phone for another year.
