Question: What was changed/improved hardware-wise since the hands-on event in germany? Are there units with final hardware? How to test: - Ask chen definitely. Notes: - If there are retail units, take a few screenshots/photos of the app drawer. Question: What is the state of the earphones and the case promised to pre-orderers. How to test: - Maybe they will tell spontaneously. - Politely ask the F(x)tec team. Question: Is the green dot on the capslock button actually an LED which lights up when capslock is enabled? How to test: - Play around with the keyboard. - Ask Chen about it! Question: Is the shift key 'sticky' by default - and other modifer keys too (ctrl/alt etc)? How to test: - Play around with the keyboard. Notes: - What I mean is if you are typing along press (and release) shift, does it affect the next letter you type. - Assuming yes, does it behave the same way with numbers (shift then 1 gets !)? - And assuming yes, does the Capslock LED (if any) stay lit after you press shift until you push the next key? Question: Changing keyboard layouts (hardware): Is it possible? Will it be supported? Will F(x)tec provide documentation on how to do it yourself? How to test: - Ask Chen. Notes: - Also would be nice to know whether the keymat and the part it glues to could possibly be available as a complete assembly in future. Question: Will the keyboard backlight be able to be controlled by software? Will there be an option to turn off the backlight when in a brightly lit area? How to test: - Play around with settings. - Ask the F(x)tec team. Question: Can I have auto-rotating disabled and be always in portait with keyboard closed and always landscape with keyboard opened? How to test: - Look around in settings and/or ask. Question: Is there settings to arbitrarily remap keys by default on the Android that ships with the device? How to test: - Look around in settings and/or ask. Question: What functions to the yellow arrow keys provide? Is there something similar to alt-gr? How to test: - Just ask I guess. - If someone is familiar with a language that uses special accents on characters etc, they could change the layout setting and try. Notes: - Side question: are there separate international and US-qwerty layouts? Question: Will they come with screen protectors? How to test: - Just ask I guess. Question: How well will the device work with a USB-C hub? How to test: - Leviathan3k will bring one if he doesn't forget. - Ask the team. Question: Does the escape key translate to back? How to test: - Ask about it. - Be creative and think of a way to test. Question: Is there support for custom system fonts? How to test: - Look in settings, ask. Question: Will we be able to buy replacement batteries ourselves or will we only be able to get repairs from "authorized dealers"? How to test: - Ask. Question: How many phones are being produced/ordered? How many phones per batch? Will all thus far paid pre-orders be in the first batch? Notes: - They probably won't answer, don't feel obliged to ask if you think it isn't a welcome question. Question: How is autofocus speed? How to test: - When half-pressing camera button, observe how long it takes until focus is locked (the camera app should give feedback). - Report subjective speed or capture it on video. Question: How is the shutter lag? How to test: - Observe the time it takes between pressing shutter button fully down after already focussed, and the actual photo being taken. - Again report subjective speed or capture it on video. Question: I want to see it in some jeans pocket. Notes: - Be free to substitute the jeans for other lower garnments if they aren't available. Question: Does pro1 supports 4k output. How to test: - Probably not possible. - Leviathan3k may bring 2k monitor, this is already a good test. Question: What happens with apps that don't like landscape mode? Can we force it somehow? How to test: - Try apps like Instagram or games that don't want landscape mode and play around. - We may want to find more apps that are trouble before the event. Question: Can you compare the speaker quality with other popular phones like the Pixel 3 and iPhones? How to test: - Both video/audio recording and subjective opinion are appreciated. - We are interested in loudness comparison as well as sound quality. Question: How well does the sound from left and right speaker match? How to test: - I've made a test mp3 you can find here: http://matland.be/stereo.mp3 (WARNING On headphones this could be painful!) - Search YouTube for "stereo test" and look for a video that plays the same sound alternatingly left and right. - Alternatively you can be creative and find another test. Question: How is the performance of the touchscreen at the edge? How to test: - Enable "Pointer location" option in Developer options, and swipe over the edge as straight as possible in different locations. - Alternatively install a drawing app. - Note down if it behaves well following finger at the edge and/or take screenshots. Question: GPS and compass for good navigation should be tested. How to test: - Verify shows location of the event. - No idea what else, but above is not a good test. Question: How is the call quality? How to test: - Make a phone call (if permission is given) and ask the interlocutor how is the sound quality on the other end. Question: Make a nice photo that perhaps can be used for the wikipedia article. Notes: - Not very important as Noir already provided a really nice one, but if there is newer hardware it's certainly appreciated. Aaand forward a big congratulations to the F(x)tec team for bringing us the phone we all need! :-)
