Livermorium, a slider keyboard smartphone running Sailfish OS
Hello,
for thoses of you not wanting to jump to Android or prefering a horizontal slider keyboard, there will maybe be another option beside the KEYone.
"Here is the specs of this device. This is not a fanboy dream - we already have working - stablised - debugged solution. It's real.
This is also not 100% confirmed and subject to further change. But this is what we are working at the moment.
The Livermorium "Pocket PC" Lauta-revival project:
SoC: Qualcomm MSM8953 64-bit 14nm
We decided to choose a mid-tier instead of flagship SoC because:
- It's very expensive to get the flagship components with small quantity
- The flagship solution itself is very expensive
- Most of the time it's over powered and waste battery
- MSM8953 is very power efficient and also have great performance
Display: 5.5" FHD 1080p IPS, Capacitive, 2.5D glass
The reason choose 5.5 over 5.0:
- More "compatible" with Moto Keyboard Mod's slider part, same size, less work
- More space on keypad, means bigger keys and more keys
- Bigger battery
Camera:
Front 8MP
Rear Dual 13MP+13MP (RGB+Monochrome)
Some of the best we can get at the moment.
Storage: 64GB ROM +4GB RAM
Keyboard: 5 Rows slider similar to Moto Keyboard Mod, screen can be lifted.
BT4.1, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and 5GHz, GPS/Beidou/Glonass/Galileo
USB Type-C with OTG, 3.5mm jack, MicroSD, Dual Sim, IR
Quad LTE bands + Quad WCDMA bands + Quad GSM bands.
One version for NA and one version for EU
Sensors: Gravity, Proximity, E-compass, Gyroscope, optional fingerprint
Unlocked bootloader
Battery 3500mAH
Regarding OS, from all the great suggestions, here is the plan:
- Sailfish OS (will try to make it happen)
- Lineage OS or GMS-Android (for general users who just want a physical keyboard)"
