I think the black variant looks much better too. The way the antenna lines are slightly visible as an ornament I find very elegant. The black on blue lines... not so much. But I'm sure some Old-Nokia fans will find it a nostalgia trip. The XDA print at the bottom part I certainly hope is an initall sketch, or it will need a sticker or a case - that detail looks horrible in my oppinion 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteffenWi 139 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Am I missing something here? The tech stats for the Pro1-X are the exact same as for the Pro1. Is this a relaunch? Same CPU, same RAM, same screen, same camera, same (shitty) spot to put a fingerprint sensor at. Edited October 27, 2020 by SteffenWi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can get a version with 2GB more RAM and double the memory capacity. In any case, I would've hoped for more. Wireless charging for example (hint: my Pro1 is still in repair due to the broken USB C port.), a slightly bigger battery and a newer CPU (-> energy efficiency) and a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone where it belongs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,460 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Quote The Pro1-X comes with a special edition Sapphire Blue outer case. I wonder from the context if this is not just a translation issue. My guess would be that they mean "casing" - but I hope I'm wrong. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 3,020 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I did the "Enthusiast" Perk. Lol. I think it just keeps me in the loop for their progress emails, but happy to contribute to the cause. I do hope this means that official versions of the OSs will be on their way to us as well. Raises the question of what is the point of ordering a Pro 1 from the store anymore. Confusing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are currently intend to have the Pro1-X available only during the campaign as part of a limited run. I don't really understand that decision either, but I don't understand most of fxtec's decisions TBH 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muth 132 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Card refused because it's not euros, no other payment option (paypal for instance), so long early bird discount... I would be happy to contribute to the fxtec endeavour... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eldarion 46 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) https://www.xda-developers.com/pro1-x/ has a secret perk token URL btw. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control?secret_perk_token=2c0a82a4#/ 4 out of 100.

No, anyone who has submitted here has received a link which has an additional perk of the 8/256 GB version for $639. It does also help for existing Pro1 orders anyway as the higher the community grows, the higher the chance of long-term support. Existing Pro1 users will also benefit as the hardware is the same where flash storage and RAM amount do not really matters. So they should definitively fix everything possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And before someone says "flash Lineage yourself", I need the phone to be validated as stock for BYOD purposes. This does raise a point, what's the bootloader like on this new one? The current one has a locked bootloader that can easily be unlocked. But you can't just lock it with LineageOS I think because it checks if the original ROM is on there or something (not sure). I am guessing that for BYOD policies they check if the bootloader is locked, or if the safetynet thing passes (which checks the bootloader among other things). This isn't possible to pass on LineageOS without rooty shenanigans, which I'm sure would be even worse for BYOD situations. The reason the Pro1 has a locked bootloader is to pass safetynet and have Google Pay among other things. The only way I can see this phone being valid for BYOD is if it has a locked bootloader, which would be neat for LineageOS. However, that would also fly in the face of the marketing for you having "options". I think you're hoping for something that's impossible, on this new phone and even more impossible on the Pro1. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michael.bosscha 142 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Exactly the same phone, but more storage for some models? Yeah... No. I would at least expect a tad better processor. This one runs OK but this CPU is now at the end of its legs. It is now three years old, and older when the phone actually ships. That Christmas perk? Sorry, I'm as much an F(x)tec fan as the next person in line but I don't trust a release in such a short timespan. Plus: that blue is... no thanks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

npatel1050 132 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) This feels like the same phone with just a few minor tweaks. Biggest changes are software related. Extra ram is great, but I don't really care about the extra storage. 128gb is more than enough to start and expansion cards are cheap. Wished the saved the money or dropped the price. At 499, early birds got a great deal. But it's really tough to keep justifying the SD835. It's not getting any younger Am I missing anything here?

Slion 1,201 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 @WaxberryCan we have perks to order AZERTY mats or even better keyboard replacement kits? I already own two Pro1s one of them has a dodgy keyboard mats I wish I could replace without bothering your support and service team. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
