- While watching the slide out process I got an idea now, why it could have a curved screen: It might be more comfortable to slide out the keyboard with a curved screen. It looks like it might even hurt a bit if the edges are "too sharp". Maybe someone could confirm this?
- The main camera is 12 MP Sony and a second one with 5 MP. The cameras do not pop out of a case. So it is nicely lying on a table. You can see a short sequence of typing on the table at 3min 13sec with two fingers.
- If you do not need a second SIM you can install memory up to 2 TB.
- Stereo Speakers.
- Camera shutter button.
- RGB notification LED (I have no idea what I could use this for at the moment).
- 10 hours talk time, 20 days standby time
- Android 9 Pie installed, upgrade to Q is planned as soon as available.
- Unlocking the bootloader will not void warranty.
- What I can see on the video: It looks like the keys are sticking out more than in the pictures from the versions last year, so I hope it's possible to actually type faster and maybe with more fingers than seen on the videos so far until now.
- Target audience are techies with a love for customization
- Easy to repair: Screen can be changed by opening screws, same with the battery. USB charging connection is on a separate PCB, so this could be changed also easily if it breaks in a few years (!)
- Next week the company will ask for the money transfer. Shipping from UK will start in the beginning of september.

They really went to great lengths to underline how much this device is catered to the people. Any updates on warranties? Last I heard it was 2 years, but unsure if that applies to the US

Hello,

It's been another busy week for us all here at F(x)tec HQ. We've got more updates that we wanted to share with you, including shipping dates.

Factory latest

We are getting closer. This week we have been working on Google Mobile Services (GMS), finalising our Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) servers and fine-tuning a screen improvement for a solution to something our Japanese customers picked up on a few weeks ago. Thanks guys!

Germany Community Event

We were thrilled to meet Gerrman, Austrian and Dutch customers at our Hands-on Community event in Dusseldorf this week. We showcased the Pro1 QWERTZ keyboard layout and let everyone get plenty of hands-on time with the devices, with more positive feedback on both the device and the QWERTZ keyboard. We think the picture below sums up the the spirit of the afternoon. Danke!
