My guess is XDA wanted to piggy back on an existing QWERTY project instead of developing their own from scratch.

I would have gone to Planet Computers because their Astro Slide project seems to have far more up-to-date specs.

The Pro 1's 835 is gonna be 4 years old when it launches. Sure it's gonna perform better than a Priv lol, and maybe the 835 puts out enough power for the intended use, but people usually don't look at it that way.

Indeed, and something that XDA members want is longevity, this coming with 835 is not looking very promising at all. They are community that knows what they want, and many of them would probably buy this as a hobbyist device, now imagine owning a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, S20 Ultra, ASUS ROG Phone 2 or 3, OnePlus 8 Pro etc.. and then having this old 835 device being put to you as something you should own lol, they’ll be like WTF.

The S835 will be replaced by the S662, and release is postponed from march to august.

and again (same happened with Astroslide), backers are asking for a refund. But I don't understand : they did invested into a project, not bought a product... Seems to be quite hard to obtain chipsets in 2021 (graphic cards, consoles...)

Scarcity of chips is becoming endemic these days - auto manufacturers are having problems right now as well.

Because of what ? Bitcoin mining ? Big manufacturers having the priority when ordering silicon ? Pandemic situation resulting of slower production ?

Pandemic situation mostly - maybe blame gamers PS5, XBox series X and the like

I saw the "scarcity of chips" quote and immediately envisioned a sellout of all snack goods in my local grocery store like Toiletpaper Armageddon Part Deux and got nervous.
