  • SpecFive Spectre Pro Android 12 smartphone adds LoRa Mesh connectivity for off-grid messaging
    November 3, 2025, 2:24 PM EST. The SpecFive Spectre Pro pairs an Android 12 smartphone with a LoRa Mesh module, enabling off-grid messaging, GPS sharing, and emergency comms via Meshtastic and related apps.

This base model is $199.99 and a Hybrid with a prepaid data SIM is $269.99. Critiques note the lack of visible photos/videos and the bulky, non-integrated design.
