For the Pro 1 Pros: Keyboard is there which is what I really wanted Good battery life Works well on wi-fi calling Can send and receive MMS on Wifi FABULOUS camera now that I have the right software on it (see unedited images below) Expandable storage Cons: Phone call functionality sucks. I drop about 50% of my calls, when I am not on wifi text messages often get hung or don't go through Voice clarity blows and I need to use earbuds or put it on speaker Screen rotation gets hung and I have to lock and unlock the screen to fix

It has problems with VoLTE where the loudness setting of the handheld is ignored. For me, the VoLTE connection would also stall often while roaming - not sure is this is related to the Pro1 or to my carrier. However, I am in the comfortable position that German carriers will support GSM (ie. non-VoLTE) calls for years to come, so I just disabled VoLTE. Haven't had any call issues since. Regarding @sequestris saying the Pro1 is stuck on Android 9: This is true for the vendor-supplied ROM. There are very mature LineageOS ports from 16.0 (Android 9) all the way up to 20.0 (Android 13) i

January of which year?

The good news is that this could mean they actually have some of those batteries and that you actually could get one... I'm still waiting for the one I've ordered and paid for on IGG in 2020, shortly after ordering the Pro1X I've been using for the last six months.

Wife with FP3 (plus easily added FP3+ camera upgrade) here, too; excellent device (stock Android with exemplary update/upgrade service, though thinking about moving to an ungoogled alternative ROM). If it wasn't for the keyboard, that would be what I'd use, too. FP with hardware keyboard would have been be the greatest... I had been hoping for a bit of that originally from Fxtec... but that would inevitably have been clunkier and even more expensive.

That is a really interesting observation. And this points towards software/firmware and not hardware! I mean the most likely common denominator is that it works when not switching bands. So it could really be the band-switching that is flawed! Unfortunately I can report that while the Pro1X is rarely switching band at all when on Vodafone around here, it still loses connection frequently, every few minutes for long enough durations to prevent normal usage. The only good thing is that the LTE Discovery workaround mostly works for me. (And that mobile Wifi routers exist, for that m

I'm sure the Pro1x is not a money maker at this point, but Fxtec does have another venture that may be quite successful (you have to scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the FxTec link). https://www.linxdot.com/ I discovered it when Expansys sent me an add pairing the Pro1x with this device. It may be why they are not out of money. If so, great.

It is important to understand that there are two F(x)tec phones: the Pro1 from late 2019 and the Pro1-X that is currently shipping (slowly). I own both of them. My original Pro1 has its flaws: its camera is not really good, the LTE and WiFi connectivity are ok-ish but not stellar, and even the keyboard -- the one distinctive feature of the phone -- has never been much fun to use. That being said, the Pro1 has served me reliably for almost three years as my only phone. I use it with a custom LineageOS ROM which I have configured to double as a miniature GNU/Linux palmtop. The latter functi

Been using this as my daily driver for about 2 weeks now and the biggest complaint I have is that all my MMS messages from both android and ios users do not come through. (any suggestions) There are times that I lose all network connectivity and I have to reboot but that has only been 1 or 2 times a day.
