How much should I care about the performance/benchmarks? I know that OnePlus 3 outperforms everything, including Samsung Galaxy S7, but on the other hand - will I use that power? I'm not gaming at all.

A quick look and it seems that spec-wise, OnePlus 3 is better than the Lenovo. Any reason to consider it?
We don't know anything about Lenovo + libhybris

Besides - I'm a touch typist So I don't think I need backlight

AFAIK most Android phones can handle USB keyboards without special treatment.

You will at least get excellent durability on the x3
Comparing the performance is pointless between the too
sd820 obviously wins.

Last year's flagship specs are still fast and efficient.
There's just other things making them look slow.

Benchmarks show how well they deal with stress..
So depending on what you are doing, base it off that.

The x3 in AnTuTu scores very consistently around 70k even after 9 tests in a row.
Heat is well handled and should never be the cause of concern.

And what about libhybris? It's a core thing to me.

Spent all morning researchin..er cramming on libhybris
Here is what I figured- (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Libhybris should work on devices with the same GPU

This is from the freedreno project status on github
https://github.com/freedreno/freedreno/wiki/Status

  • OpenGL 1.4

Adreno A3xx:
  • LVDS / HDMI / DSI
  • OpenGL 3.1
  • OpenGL ES 3.0
  • Hardware binning

Adreno A4xx:
  • HDMI / eDP / DSI
  • OpenGL 3.1
  • OpenGL ES 3.0
It seems that A3xx is the sweet spot for libhybris compatibility, as you see with:

Fairphone 2, OnePlus One, OnePlus X, Nexus 5, etc

  • OpenGL 3.2: Geometry shaders (a4xx only), MS textures
  • OpenGL 3.3: RGB10_A2UI textures/vertices (a3xx), dual-source blending (a4xx), timer query
  • OpenGL 4.0: Tessellation shaders, sample shading, ARB_gpu_shader5 features, indirect draws, lots more
  • OpenGL ES 3.1: Compute, SSBO, counters, images, indirect draws (a3xx may not have enough in hardware for all this)
The Vibe X3 has the Adreno 418
It may not be the best option if you are looking to hop onto Sailfish/Ubuntu/Plasma right away.
Future support looks promising.

Thanks a lot!

[QUOTE=x_Blaze.It.Beau_x;1509444]Libhybris should work on devices with the same GPU[/code]

There's something I don't understand. When I last asked about why don't all devices work under libhybris, the answer was: if the drivers are written in a hacky way, we need to port those hacks. [1]

On the other hand, on this page [2] there are many components listed: LED, RTC alarms, NFC, sensors, vibra are the ones that fail most often under libhybris.

So I see no reason why the GPU alone should decide.

No, I don't think Sailfish is mature yet, as far as I see, I'm not sure if the app coverage isn't better on Maemo still.

I just want to be able to hop off the Android train when it's possible. See no other way out right now than an Android device. (app coverage for the most)

Sorry about replying so late - I had to go through an old code of mine where I had made use of this API and remember how I used it.

So it is done via the timed library and controlled through the timedclient-qt5 command, so I remembered wrong and it's not a dbus interface (maybe it has one, but that's not what I used). I don't have a device to test it (before I get my Jolla C), but try to run
timedclient-qt5 --help
and you should get the hang of it. I know I used the following commands in my app:
timedclient-qt5 --search=APPLICATION=<app name>
timedclient-qt5 --get-event=<cookie>
timedclient-qt5 -a'whenDue;runCommand=`<command>`' -r'hour=06;minute=50;everyDayOfWeek;everyDayOfMonth ;month=8;' -e'APPLICATION=<app name>;TITLE=<title>
timedclient-qt5 --cancel-event=<cookie>
and similar. Sorry for being off-topic in this thread, but I hope more people will make use of this great functionality of SailfishOS (provided it still works the way it did 1-2 years ago when I used it).

High specs but might not have CM yet, so no libhybris.

Ok. No CM, no libhybris, no Sailfish...

What do CM and libhybris have in common?
Can any expert here explain, what is needed to have a full libhybris driver coverage? I'm getting more and more confused
