Don't forget the ratio. ;)

It's a 18:9 ratio in 6", in another word it's the same panel as a 5.4-5.5" screen in 16:9. The screen is bigger due to less bezels. In measurements the device is quite narrower and slightly shorter than the Moto Z2 Play.

Thinking this way, it's a 5.4" of the traditional 16:9 ratio.

P.S: Being quite smaller than the Xperia XA2 Plus, which quite some users are happily using SFOS upon.

That would be cool. If I could connect my samsung on top of this qwerty.
Looks cool.

Hi chen, great to see your project is taking form. Even so I'm also somewhat shocked reading about a 6" screen. On the other hand having a Xperia X and got finally used to the size, I made a comparison between my Xperia and the Galaxy S8 regarding size: https://phonesized.com/compare/#627,772
The S8 doesn't look horribly larger. So can you say some words how large the device will be in comparison to the S8. And if the 6" is referring to a rectangle or if it is measured from round corner to round corner.

"Ratio rationale

We chose a notch-less screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio, and minimal bezels. Our device's footprint is smaller than most other 6-inch 18:9 phones, like the Nokia 7 Plus or Moto Z3. This doesn’t just reduce physical size, it also improves the typing experience. "

Bigger is superior. Hopefully you can use the full screen or two apps at once while R/W content. Beginning with the original gangster note which was huge for it time :D
Now it would be average. But it also had 16:9 which I really like since most phones don’t use that today.

My main concern is the interaction between OS and QWERTY. Still haven’t heard anything about that.

But then, for sailfish, you don’t really need a nice/big screen becouse you can’t use it with any nice services anyways.

I highly appreciate the decision to an AMOLED screen.

If the device will also get an official Sailfish OS port, then I am constrained to purchase it to fulfill my dream of owning a N950-alike smartphone. :D

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

Will the AMOLED be sunlight readable like the N900's transflective screen?

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

The N900's screen may be 'transfective' but I would never, ever, ever call it 'sunlight readable'.

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

It sure isn't!
I have only seen transreflective screens in old pre-smartphone Nokias. It went out of fashion with monochrome LCD's

Once this device is available how would you puchase it?
