The only way of "upgrading" is installing LineageOS 22, which will give you the equivalent of Android 15. Since LIneageOS re-uses most of the device drivers from stock Android 9, it is unlikely that audio or camera quality will be improved. At least I do not know of any such updates. That being said, a recent LineageOS will give you all those Android security patches since 2020, which is of quite some value in itself ...

Hi all, long time Pro1 user and all.  Good to find this place. One question as the Pro1 works OK in the stock configuation, does upgrading this improve: *Phone speaker or microphone? *Camera quality? What do you all find your gained from upgrading?  

Back to PC it seems. For me personally it means that I again carry around my notebook all the time. It was nice to restart servers from my phone. I know this is still possible, but the touchscreen-hassle makes it impossible to do it properly.

My best suggestion is LineageOS on your Pro1/Pro1X, as this is Android15, so should be supported a few years yet by most apps.... But indeed for new hardware we are in a limbo, And i really doubt that anyone will attempt making a new one - though I still hope for it....

I must be one of the lucky ones. I was an early backer because I wanted the best deals on Indiegogo. I received my Pro1 and my Blue Pro 1 X early. I received the Pro 1 X almost a full year before Covid hit and all the shipment emails of back orders for other people's phones started arriving. To this day, both phones are snappy and work great. However, the real power of physical keyboard is from the Google Play Store app named Keyboard Mapper. The app is awesome. I always use physical keyboard shortcuts to open Apps, write -out/remember passwords, addresses, phone numbers, or common pre-written phrases that I find myself writing. Or, like I have Crtl left arrow as brightness down, Crtl right as brightness up, Crtl up is vol up and crtl down arrow is vol down. And on and on. I have physical shortcuts for everything. I can even split the screen with one touch of a button then select the second app I want on the second half of the screen. I am currently using the "Sym" button to split the screen to two apps. Also, You can get apps on the Google Play store that launches 2 apps at a time. Honestly now in 2025, the Pro 1 X is not the fastest or best for high power phone gaming. But still very snappy and much faster at productivity than any other of my Android phones, including my Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate because of the keyboard shortcuts. I still use it today when my 7 ultimate is charging or I just want to shut-out gaming and junk and just be productive. However, some apps are already starting to NOT support Android 11. It breaks my heart that the company seems dead. I actually came here today to see when the next F(X) Phone would be released. Where do we (physical keyboard lovers) go from here? 😞
