Interesting specs. Looks like it's based on the RK3588S. In terms of CPU grunt that's a fairly good upgrade over the RK3399S used in the Pinephone Pro, ~3x more performance in single core according to Passmark[1]. For the GPU in the RK3588, there is a Mali-G610 MP4, which at least on paper looks pretty promising. Notebookcheck shows it only -35% of the Apple A14 Bionic[2]. For comparison, the Mali-T860 MP2 in the RK3399S used by the Pinephone Pro seems rather anemic by today's standards[3]. The other specs also look fairly good. 32 GiB of modular(!) RAM, two decent resolution camera sensors, a fingerprint sensor, a decently large battery, a modern modem... It stands to reason that if they really do manage to get mainline Linux working well on this, while it won't be cutting edge by smartphone standards, it really ought to be one of the first mainline Linux phones where the performance is actually decent. I'm cautiously optimistic. Looking at the postmarketOS compatibility list, few phones on the market have good modem support and fewer have working camera (literally no device has managed to get a "Y" in camera!) which makes me wonder if the fairly modern Qualcomm modem and fairly decent looking camera sensors they chose can really actually work under mainline Linux and a fairly stock userland. If it does, then damn. We're possibly entering peak "viable Linux phone" territory here.
