He he, haven't had a real tilt slider since the N97mini ten years ago.... (Gave that up for the Xperia Neo Pro, as N97mini only works in the dark...)

You are correct. :) The keyboard open does trigger just as pressing power, so if the device is not locked, it is active when opened. If locked, it is just touching the scanner with the right index (or middle) finger after opening. I feel it natural to hold the index finger at the 'support plate', that is between the two 'halves', which is close to the sensor, for easy access. I think it is a matter of 'muscle memory' to find the ideal way to pick it up, slide open and unlock in one sweep (almost unconscious) movement. BTW I noticed an alternative way of opening it(!), Rather than push

Nope, I only tried the Open Camera and Snapdragon Camera apps

This failed miserably, but protectors for the Elephone U Pro with the same front exists.

The cutting failed miserably, but protectors for the Elephone U Pro with the same front exists.

You are welcome and thanks. Then you know how horrible they are to get right on Photos. *LOL* Sometime he is playing with a pitch black German Shepherd, and it is simply hopeless to get BOTH right in a photo - despite many attempts, none really good, least bad one where he lies in the shadow and she in the sun a couple of years ago....

As with so many things, OPTIONS is the answer. I do not see why one user group should be forced to use the setting the other group prefers. So I certainly hope they will have a switch for it, so both can have what they prefer. And some (like me) can turn it off/on depending on what we are currently entering... (With the pro-production unit I tested, it is off, when not displaying a virtual keyboard. But the keyboard software part is clearly not finished)

Will look forward to some images of your Pro¹ with the great grandfather when you get it. ....And hopefully you are less lazy than me, so you clean the old thing up a bit before photos *LOL*

Thanks. I guess we are at about the same place. Made this dream some time ago (though I would not mind having the key-quality upgraded like the Pro¹): ADD: Oh note that this was before I noticed the bug everywhere, the device is really 15.3 not 13.5,mmm Here with corrected image: [attachment file=15283]

I do too, It is just my specimen that lacks the F and J markers as I understand it. I doubt that they will make much difference though, except for those with fingers fine enough to do real ten-finger typing. Think of thumb-typing like typing with the index fingers only on your pc, here the homing is not really that helpful. But nice that they add it for those that wants it. "Function is key". Unfortunately the one that inherited my N97Mini did not return it when she upgraded (it was broken) But would have loved to have these to side by side, to show the huge difference, and yet the legacy

I wrote a bit on my first experiences here

Many phablets today offers (W)QHD or (W)QFHD, and as this on usual viewing distance is hard to benefit from (see e.g. this to test your own eyes), it makes a lot of sense to offer emulated reduced logical resolution, to ease the works for graphics engines/cpu, and thus save battery power. On the Pro¹ we start with WFHD, so not that much point in emulating say WHD. But sure technically they could offer it. Ah, well 4½ icons visible at a time in height in the scrolling directing. ;-p - See e.g. this official tweet from a few days ago..

If you hold it in the right hand the 'natural' way (speaker up), the thumb rest above the volume keys. But you can also hold it speaker down, giving easier access to the keys. But the launcher currently(?) does not support that, so they would either have to change that, or you would need another launcher.

It got a power button AND a fingerprint reader. Scanning an enrolled finger (of course) unlocks, so you do not need to press both. If you do not enrol fingerprints, you can use the classic button, ignoring the scanner.

Pie natively offers control over "Display size" and "Font size". I have chosen small display size and large font, to get things denser, but still readable. If you go the other way round the icon-grid is 3x8 rather than the 4½x10 I got. So already there :)

"customizable" is always the best, so each user can have what they prefer. :-)

It is a matter of the grip, but sure if it have sat a little lower, the risk of accidentally activating it with the left pinky in portrait would be less, on the other hand that would increase the risk of doing it with the right index finger in landscape, and that would be worse. So as Pie only allow five fingers entered anyway, simply do not enrol the left pinky.

Sorry, I haven't got a clue, hopefully others that know more on the subject can help you.

No "whys"? And please also give the numbers on them, to help people in evaluating if it could be interesting.

...I know NOTHING on Widewine, The "DRM Info" app on a preproduction unit says L3. Output practically identical to the Nokia8 here

We know at the display is from Boe, with the type number BF060Y8M-AJ0-7702 , so you might be able to find the info you want from that. See e.g. this and previous posts.

I do not know the answers, but on FM, they use the headphones. To get a signal in you need something not far from ¼ wavelength, and in the FM band that is way beyond even the largest phablet. There are good reason while small transistor radios got an external antenna. I can say that the FM reception with the preproduction unit it is EXTREMELY much more sensitive than my last phone with FM, the Xperia (Neo) Pro. In conditions where the (Neo) Pro struggles to get even audible Mono and if you hold the cable exactly right. The Pro¹, at the same position, delivers (almost) noise free stereo, no

I feel sort of the same way. The whole point of a huge phablets beyond one hand operable phones is - to me - to get more information on the surface. Why else sacrifice the one hand operability? SURE it is nice that a large display can also be used as a more handicap friendly device with a huge font for people with impaired vision, but though pushing 60, I'm not there (yet). It is not really a showstopper to me if an app looks sort of ugly. I would guess that most others that want a keyboard-device are going for function over aesthetics too anyway.
