I don't know why people are crying due to snapdragon 835. Normally in this price you should receive SoC for medium range phones almost without GPU. 835 is maybe 2 years old but it is a flagship SoC, which is better than actual medium range SoC from this year.

I think 835 is a lot better choice than actual equivalent of 821.

Also, We should remember about work and effort to make a slider mechanism in these days. I'm sure that was over 80% of development costs.

835 was announced November 2016. Our phone will ship in July making that SOC closer to 3 years old. In tech time that's a very long time. Doesn't really matter I guess but when you're spending $650+ that's flagship money. It's tough to compare this phone to anything else because there are no other keyboards out there

lol while everyone is bitching about SD835, I remember at one point he was considering 600 series due to the cost. Depending on what you want to run on it, unless one runs Android (if the provided android image is treble-enabled) it should get another year of security updates, otherwise if you run something like sailfishOS then it should still be updated regardless.

Am happy with the choice (though I really prefer it to be SD845). However, I still need to figure out how much does it cost to ship to my country before deciding whether to buy one as my spare phone heh.

Ready to pay now for two units,

(funds cached for just this purpose)

as soon as is credibly demonstrated

that some kind of genuine linux distro can boot and run on this.

You also need to think of chip availabilities for short runs, who knows what compromises chen had to make in order to get this far. It's all well and good imagining perfect unicorn devices but sooner or later the real world gets in the way.

If a slightly old SoC would put you off this device, then I guess you didn't really care that much about the keyboard, which is the whole point of the exercise.

Integrated keyboard plus decent (but not 2019 flagship) extras seems like a reasonable deal to me

also would be good to compete with blackberry at portrait qwerty market, since not everyone enjoys all locked-up, unrootable blackberries. so it would be make analogs for Priv and Keyone/two for sure. portrait slider may come fancy with modern fashion 'slide down for front cam' and make two-way slider like nokia N95/96.

also it would be fine to have some classics reborn too, like sonyeric M600 rocker-buttons qwerty and something in clamshell design like N92/93.
Portrait slider is welcome, be it a qwerty (like Passport - I like square display and passport form factor) or a T9 (has got to survive in a jeans pocket and be easy to fish out, without breaking). Open-hardware, open-source (Kai OS? for feature phone with T9 keyboard) and durable (metal, not plastic).



Thank you. Best wishes.

I do have a few questions before buying it.
  1. what type of storage is it, emmc, ufs 2(.1?)
  2. what type of ram lpddr4 or lpddr4x?
  3. does the phone support widevine drm L1
  4. if it does when you unlock the bootloader, does that L1 support go away, if it does if you relock it does it come back?

I am most likely going to buy it either way, just wondering about more details.
