Contradiction in terms here: aPple are all about design over function, a keyboard is about function over design. I mean who with their mind on function over design would make a system with one key and add functions for single short, single long, double short and triple short clicks, if they cared at all about an intuitive user interface? Users of aPple devices should be glad not to be required to Morse things in with their holy "one key is all that is needed" approach....

There are a number of independent reviews already, including from TechRadar here, Though for obvious reasons not on the released units yet. There are quite a lot that can be found Googling https://www.google.com/search?q=fxtec+pro1+(preview%2C+review) Though technically mine is independent too, I'm so enthusiastic about the whole idea, that it can be said that I'm not completely impartial. 😇

I doubt that theory very much. If it was the case it could have delayed the large batches, but hardly the first small one. ...That said, sure every extra order will help the whole project. And I expect people pouring in (relatively speaking) once the first units hit the streets, and we get some more independent feedback.

The access to the fingerprint is clearly impaired, but not so much that it prevents the usage. But you definitely do not risk triggering it inadvertently... ADD: See comment below, I later modified the flip case with a wider opening, and the problem is gone And it completely destroys the aesthetics of the cool looking Pro1, by both hiding the sleek back, and having the bottom half thicker than the upper (this goes for flip and simple a like). So sure they could have done it, but I'm also sure a lot would have complained of the look and feel of the result... On the other hand if

Yes, as I wrote here: Hole for the USB-C Hole for the fingerprint sensor Hole for the 3.5mm Jack Hole for the rear camera arrangement, Inner only Optional a bend of the top cardboard gives a better fit

The 'leather' flip case is about 65g, the simplest clear cases about 20g

I doubt it will work with other than their own devices. Similar to their clip-on keyboards.

You beat me to it! (wrote about the same, but deleted it)

Try "Note FE" also. Identical dimensions. e.g. this to $7

Because the " slightly " is an understatement...

A bit off topic - and I even had eight days with VERY little usage, after two years usage, so let me try to answer a bit more generally here I tried to explain a lot about it on my blog, and if you are still having issues after following that, you might consider the following Things people tend to ignore in my advices (any device) are 1) Keep the phone where the reception is as good as possible. This REALLY matters, install e.g. GSAM to easily see the portion burnt by the phone radios - it can be 2/3 ... Especially if you have the device in the pockets and moves around between m

...But with a WAY more lenient chipset. The 808 (and even more the sibling 810) were infamous for it's huge consumption while active.

You should have included the rest of the paragraph in the quote " That said, I put the Pre production unit in "Power Off" for a couple of days, and there were no detectable discharge during that. " So my point was that though it academically speaking isn't "Off", for all practical purposes it can be considered Off. (And not a word about NSA and the Paranoid among us...)

I tested the above mentioned, and fitted the flip case. See this for details, Here one of the images

TLDR, but thanks for the warning and detailed info, if someone else get into similar predicaments with the Pro1

....And the first nine are in, will try to find time to test later. But here the preproduction unit slipped into an unmodified Note7 flip-case, before cutting holes. Even the closing mechanism works!! Though it is 3cm at the very widest over clasp

Which 718€ phone are you talking about - and what 350€ has the same hardware? I would be quite surprised if those existed. If it was parfume, ok, but I never saw somthing like that regarding technical devices. Well he is (unsurprisingly), forgetting a slight detail in that compare: The keyboard slider. I guess for the remaining 99% in here, that is the only reason why we are interested in the Pro1.... 🙄 I wonder if he would compare the price of a galaxy fold with a galaxy S10, with similar specs, ignoring the slight detail that one of them folds? The only rough

I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say here, And not sure if some things are still in a 'debug'-mode, So I will be vague... Phones with non removable batteries, and with a power button rather than a switch, can not be turned truly Off, as some circuitry has to be active to detect if the Power button is pressed... That said, I put the Pre production unit in "Power Off" for a couple of days, and there were no detectable discharge during that. The pre production unit I got lacks IMEI and some antennas, so I have tried to put it in Aeroplane mode, and here from a weeks statistics, I would

Liangchen Chen is the man behind both projects, I do not know if there are other people in (or behind) FxTec that was associated with the Moto Mod Keyboard.

we know its less but still actives users is just small part here. I guess someone good at coding could easily traverse all the treads, and count the users and frequencies. There are quite a lot registered users, as we can see pressing the @ followed by letters, but that is not to say that all these are active in here.

@VaZso , @_DW_ (I moved some dialogue to the repairability thread, where it fits better than a thread on size)

Of course I meant you could upgrade some of your Pro1s, you could keep the rest of them for your personal phone-museum. 😜 But more seriously, yeah, they could sell the parts for self replacements too. And one could be a new pcb with newer chipset in say 2022. But IF they changed the parts themselves, it might get a status a bit like "refurbished", that came with a warranty also, thus inciting people to upgrade 😇

And the "just" is the issue here, as this simple and natural question is so hard to answer, as so many things can affect it.... I mean if I send a postcard to my neighbourgh in a reasonable organised country like Denmark it could be anything from one to seven days... And the whole travel of the Pro1 from the factory to our doorsteps involves so many unpredictable factors that could influence it. Including - but not limited to - customs.

So you are saying that it is worse if they are accidentally wrong than if it was deliberate?? You lost me there....😲 I think the key word here is "promise", as it is quite fuzzy who said what and when, and with what authority, and thus it is fuzzy if we actually got anything "promised" on the delivery, or they were/are just stating their intentions and WE interpret that as promises.

Indeed let us hope this will be a hit, and open for all the possibilities. In the minimal version I imagine a few years down a variant that reuse as much as possible, but with 5G version antennas, and with what other upgrades that would be obvious to do in say 2021 or 2022. Sticking to existing 4G antennas, they might even offer us to send in the devices for an upgrade, so we when getting it a fresh battery and usb-plug also can get some other internals upgraded.
