Better send that charger to bigclivedotcom to check if it's electrically safe :')

Being approved means that they can ship it easier and faster!
I think I've heard a fly coming here in this room....
And careful, if you feed a stray dog, it might follow you home...

Does anyone know what the significance of this is? I mean does it suggest a particular point in the production?

Wondering the same as well. They've been posting a lot of fluff on social media but no ship date or updates since the last newsletter which was I think 2 weeks ago

This is a necessary step to clear the path to shipping these devices, so this is in a sense, good enough to send to FCC for final certification.
They are hopefully packing the pre-orders here in the next week or so, and shipping within a few days of that. For me personally, since they said early October, I'd want an arrived package or at least an in progresss shipment no later than October 7th.
If later than that, I will likely do a chargeback and wander into a Mall store to get some other phone, whatever $700 gets you these days. It must have a headphone jack.

I recall long ago in this thread when someone asked about smaller device in the future, it was said that nowdays market does not offer screens smaller than 5,5 inch or so.
well, after now a low-budget ultra-small phone is released - the Xiaomi Qin 2, we know that small displays are not the problem. so we can bring up that question again: how small the Pro2 / Pro1 compact can theoretically be?

What's small about that budget xiaomi?
It has a 5.1" screen and a ridiculous 22.5:9 aspect ratio.
If you do the math and include the bezels too, it's almost as tall as a modern flagship phone with 6" screen at 19:9, but ridiculously narrow.
That makes it easy to grip but impossible to use with one hand and horrible for media consumption.
And if you throw an imaginary hardware keyboard to that form factor, you end up with a device that's really uncomfortable to type too.

For the Pro, I think that the only acceptable small form factor for one hand use, would be with the same screen to body ratio or more, 16:9 and about 5" screen.
Then it would have more than enough space to work and enough space for a nice keyboard!
