Erik 1,487 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 As some of you wanted to see the Pro1 getting naked, me and my colleague shot the following unboxing video from F(x)tec HQ this morning :). And the initial boot-up with a keyboard slide: 22 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EskeRahn 5,460 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Have flashed and reset so many times with early software, I never realised that the initial start-up is just 1 minute if you skip all the wizardry. 😄 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean that F(x)Tec needs to add a custom launcher to support landscape is ridiculous.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parhelion 114 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 How about a Sailfish flashing Video? 🤔 I just keep finding that mandatory "Accept Google services" part a bit disturbing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elvissteinjr 359 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think this is the first time I've heard some noise from the Pro1 speakers. Are those in any way decent? I'm kind of used to any kind of smartphone in various price ranges to just have terrible audio quality once you go past a certain volume level, but there might be physical constraints with them being super flat, power, or whatever. I likely missed out on exceptions, but people in this house have Samsung, LG and OnePlus stuff... and they don't really shine there. How is it looking on the Pro1 end? The best phone speakers I've heard personally were the speaker moto mods... but those were pretty fat and came with their own battery to drain from after all. Also, the "powered by Android" is not consistently positioned between the static and animated boot-screen. Literally unusable :^) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no mention of lineage anywhere on xda or even the lineageos site about this device I will leave this to be answered by Developers from Lineage OS. I think it would be very likely, as our Lineage OS developers are very well known and experienced. They have been of great support so I would hope at a certain time while the device hits a wider user group it would be likely to happen! 5 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Krzysieq 55 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Wow this phone really is the dogs bollocks. Can't wait for some indepth independent reviews to kick in :) I sure hope tech sites/influencers have ordered theirs in the first batch :) 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glumreaper 144 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I'm very glad to see these videos, because I'm excited for the device, to get my own, and for it to sell well. But as a general point, is anyone else as puzzled as me why 'unboxing' videos are as popular as they are on youtube? Why is there such a buzz for what is surely the least interesting part of getting a new device? Show me it working! Show me it from all angles! But only show me the plastic wrapping or peeling off stickers if you're trying to get me to sleep... Edited November 19, 2019 by glumreaper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So just made a series of single images, so people can browse quickly over in seconds and only investigate whatever they want to see, 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
