I just got this newsletter in my mail:
https://mail.webfx.co/t/ViewEmail/i/...5D7BC1A387288D

And here is corresponding post on the F(x)tec Forums by chen:
https://community.fxtec.com/topic/31...ial-is-coming/

For any details, we will have to wait.

Edit:

Its a Pro 1 coming preinstalled with Lineage OS or Ubuntu touch. Hardware is only slightly improved: 8GB RAM and 256GB Disk.

Keyboard Layouts have also been improved.
Indiegogo campaign here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/p...oice-control#/

I was just to ask people what device they would buy as their main device with calling abilities and when I opened the forum there is this topic.

At least LineageOs and Ubuntu touch support.

I need a device that can do what is needed and run bigger softwares (ramramram plus cpu power). If they are launching updated Fxtec then maybe I just have to wait.

But maybe I should first try my idea of making a dock for N900 with stick computer and 20 000 mA battery. I have bought the battery and the cables needed but I want to run linux on that stick and there are some problems which have prevented me from buying yet the stick.

"F(x)tec announces new device "

That title is too specific imo.
There is no hard indication for a new device from what i can see.
My guess is, it is a special version of the Proš with alternate OS of choice preloaded in XDA spirit?
But that is just counting 1+1 from the official words.

Speaking of "alternate OS of choice" - I wish we didn't have to make a choice. On my old phone (nexus 5) I could triple-boot between Android, Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch. I would love to see MultiROM or something similar on the Pro1 so it could truly do everything.

Well the physical box under the cloth is a hint. The Linage logo on the side would be nothing to announce, as the Pro 1 already has official Lineage support.
Also the XDA Post mentions an Indigogo campaign starting, which rarely is for software only projects.

I may be wrong, but I do allow myself to get my hopes up

Oh no!! I just got the PinePhone since my great n900 will no longer work on tmobile. Well I don't think of the PP as a long term, was kinda holding out for a smaller fx pro2se

Could this be the perfect size interation of the pro1!!
THough it working with xda I would also guess its a special adroid software colab.

They really pump the hype with their posts. And chens post is not a humble one but you get the feeling he is reeeeally excited.


And like now you finally get your privacy - guaranteed way of speaking.

I thought it was good. And they got to be proud of continuing to run a company that ships product throught all this craziness.

If they support mainline with no google blobs and have a smaller form factor I guess I will just need 2 phone . I would use the pinephone for testing on android and mobile views and just fun.

I would have come up with some funny stuff but can't share them either. I do not have those privacy focused platforms in use.

My hobby are old laptops. Annoyed when someone shares info about them on a website which you are unable to open or use with old laptops. It is like brainfarting bad smelling oxy*****s.

I really hoped they would make access available. For a moment I could not access Leste site with my N900 which also annoyed but glad now I can with Opera. Otherwise would like to complaint.
