Yeah, XDA made a phone. And it's the world's first phone to run LineageOS out of the box!

The Pro1-X doesn’t only run LineageOS; there are also variants available running Ubuntu Touch OS and Android.

• Snapdragon 835
• 12MP + 5MP Dual Rear Camera Setup
• 13MP Selfie Camera
• Physical QWERTY Keyboard
• Type-C Port & HDMI Out
• Dedicated Camera Button
• 6/8GB RAM
• 128/256GB Internal Storage

The full retail price of the Pro1-X is $899. But for the XDA community, there are a limited number of devices available at $639. There is also a pre-early bird offer for $599.

The Pro1-X is XDA's first phone, and it runs on LineageOS or Ubuntu

Looks interesting. But I cannot understand why people should buy this phone at this premium price.

It's just a crowdfunded product. With this phone they are just trying to show what they are able to do. I don't think it will be mass produced (in a huge scale).

True.

And why the swivel keyboard? I would always be vary of devices that have 2 separate moving parts, connected most probably by something like a flex cable (used in older slide model phones). The flex usually wears out within a couple of years. May be they are using some other new hardware to connect the physical keyboard to the display?

Nonetheless, this appears to be a good initiative by XDA. The fact that it is made by them leads one to believe, that:

1) The device could be mostly bloat free

2) The device could come unlocked, capable of heavy customizations
