Just found out as well through their newsletter!
The Necunos NC_1 is for sale now
right here
.
It boosts the following specs:
Chipset: ARM® Cortex®-A9 NXP i.MX6
CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9
Memory: 1GB
Storage: 8GB
Battery: 3500 mAh
GPU: Vivante (Etnaviv with hardware acceleration)
Display: 5.0"
Body: Aluminium
Camera: 5 MP 1.4"
Like Purism,
they claim
:
Operating Systems: Multiple community driven operating systems to choose from.
Closed source firmware with memory access: NO
Binary blobs: NO
Locked bootloader: NO
Furthermore, interesting to note is the operating systems that you can choose from when ordering:
No operating system
Plasma Mobile on Debian
Plasma Mobile on postmarketOS
Maemo Leste
Nemo Mobile
LuneOS
I know for a fact that Plasma Mobile is nowhere near finished (would hesitantly call it in alpha state at the time of writing), Maemo Leste still has a way to go and Nemo Mobile... Was that ever finished? LuneOS I'm not sure of, does anyone know? Seeing this list I can only assume Necunos is aiming this phone at developers.
Personally, I think their asking price of €1199 is quite high, especially considering the CPU is "only" a NXP i.MX6. Purisms offer of $600 (less than half) including a NXP i.MX8 and hardware switches to turn various hardware components on/off seems the better deal.
Still though, kudos for them pulling it off so fast and quietly
Really curious to read the first reviews when they pop up.
