Plasma Mobile is a user interface for mobile Linux distributions that includes a mix of features borrowed from the KDE Plasma desktop environment and mixes in some mobile-specific components designed for smartphones, tablets, and other touchscreen devices. The latest version brings some key improvements including a more responsive lock screen, some cosmetic home screen enhancements, improved Settings menus, and an easier way to run Android apps on Linux phones.

**An overview of both OSes on the F(x)tec Pro1, and some discussion about how the hardware keyboard compares with other keyboard phones.** The Pro1x, a Pro1 with moar storage, RAM, a blue case and a non-shifted QWERTY layout, is now available on Indiegogo until the end of this week: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control/x/3170084?secret_perk_token=2c0a82a4 If you use this link, you can pick a "secret" perk with the special price with a coupon from XDA Developers (no much of a secret, it is in the XDA announcement article). This makes the Pro1x cheaper than the Pro1. It is a crowdfunding campaign so there may be delays, but as you can see the company already delivered the first product so I'm quite confident that they'll eventually deliver the Pro1x too. The video may give a false impression: I do not dislike Planet Computers devices at all. In fact, I am really happy that they are on the market and even though their offering would not be my first choice because of the keyboard, hinge and SOC, it is great that they are contributing to the love for keyboard phones. Now with them, Unihertz and F(x)tec, we can finally choose.
