Still significantly cheaper than the Jolla for better spec and build quality, and performs better on similar hardware than Sailfish.
Meizu devices will be much better, and there should be a 5" 1920x1080 with much better spec and less gigantic bezels from bQ soon. If leTV really are releasing the devices (with UP) that I posted about recently, those should absolutely fly with that kind of spec and be superb value too.
My main hope is that they change the way multi-tasking works sooner rather than later. Apps are still COMPLETELY frozen when not focused. Which makes absolutely no sense as they're targeting power users / techies / FOSS enthusiasts initially.
Still, they have a lot going for them ... not least a gigantic community of FOSS developers, who even if only a small % choose to work on apps, themes, software, custom ROMs or different UI paradigms for the phone / tablet flavour, it'll dwarf what Jolla and FF-OS can ever hope to have.
