K5 Gus Jun 2022 1:56pm, 1 Jun 2022 5,177 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus I'm a bit confused now as to the differences between the 955 and Fenix7, they seem to have sort of merged. Is the 955 just an F7 in a plastic case ? I suppose there's the 2 size options for the F7 which you don't get with the 955. Any other significant differences ?

Badger Jun 2022 2:06pm, 1 Jun 2022 15,271 posts	Quote Pin Badger I think that's pretty close to the truth, yes. The 945 was pretty much a Fenix 6 in a plastic case, with a handful of software differences. Build quality plus the variations in size - for both 6 and 7 it's three sizes, with different sized screens and different battery capacity being the key differences. There's also the preposterous torch on the 7x I guess. The weird thing for me is how dual-frequency was a top-of-the-range extra on the 7 series a couple of months ago, and now it's standard on the FR 255 at half the price of a basic Fenix 7 which doesn't have dual-frequency. Almost everyone who's bought an F7 or an Epix is going to be annoyed about that.
