XDA-Developers is not only an editorial office that provides English-language information to fans of mobile technologies. It is also an extensive forum and active users who contribute to various variations on the Android operating system. It turns out that XDA intends to go a step further to implement its ventures. Well, on the Idiegogo crowdfunding website, it was possible to order a smartphone designed by XDA and the manufacturer – F (x) tec. It is not just another piece of equipment based on secondary design and painstaking solutions, but the form that potential customers expect. The question is, who exactly is the target of the original Pro1 X smartphone equipped with a physical keyboard?

The Pro1 X smartphone is the result of cooperation between XDA and the British company F (x) tec, in which we find a foldable a physical keyboard and real freedom in the installation of the mobile operating system of your choice.

First, the price. The equipment will not be cheap, as its regular price will be 899 dollars. However, there is a limited pool for the XDA community that costs “only 639 dollars” . The smartphone can work under the control of Ubuntu Touch OS, but is sold with pre-installed LineageOS. A fairly old Qualcomm Snapdragon chip 835, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB of memory for user data. There will also be a variant with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of memory for user data.

5, 99 – inch OLED screen with resolution 2160 x 1080 and aspect ratio 18: 9. This element is protected by a 3rd generation Corning Gorilla Glass layer. The battery with a capacity of 3200 mAh looks as poor as the photo set (12 Mpix zf / 1.8 and 5 Mpix zf /2.9). The key, however, will be the ability to use a physical QWERTY keyboard and any jump between systems from the Android family, selected Linux / GNU and Sailfish distributions, and perhaps even Windows. The equipment will not be the king of the store shelves, but I suspect that the enthusiasts will buy the first print.
