"Okay, I have been using my Pro1x for two weeks and it is now officially replacing my Pro1 as my daily driver.  So I will  not only be answering the thread question, but I will also be comparing my Pro1x to my Pro 1.  They are both great pocket computers but the question was which would become my daily driver and which would be conscripted into the kind of experimentation I wouldn't feel comfortable doing with my main device.  I like the Pro1x so much, that is the one I would like to always have with me.\n \n\n\n\tAlso, for context (especially in terms of how I might not be like you), I live on the East Coast of the US, am 70, retired, and I don't get out much.  😄 Except to doctors (both me and Mrs. Hook).  I bought a new car in January of 2020, just before the pandemic hit.  I have 15k miles on it 3 years later.\n \n\n\n\tOther than a few initial hiccups while working out settings, connectivity is great for me.  I can make calls, text, use mobile data, have no problems with wifi.  Signals are weaker than with my slab on Verizon, but that is also true with my Pro 1.  But all of this functionality is good over VoLTE with preferred network set to LTE only.  I don't know why this works so well for me when so many are having problems.  I feel even more guilty because, in fact, like my Pro1, I never intended to use this as a phone. That's what the Verizon slab is for.  😉\n \n\n\n\tGPS is excellent so far, fast and accurate. Similar to my Pro 1\n \n\n\n\tIn comparing performance of my Pro1x to my Pro 1, for the things I do, I can detect no difference between a Pro1 with SD 835 and Lineage 20 and this Pro1x with SD 662 and stock Android 11. There is no lag on my Pro1x.  Mostly I do text manipulation of various sorts and internet browsing, so I certainly don't really challenge any processor.  I write,edit, use spreadsheets, do research, handle email, ssh to a Linux server,etc.  I've tried streaming videos and music.  But this is a work oriented device... no games or anything that would really challenge a cpu.\n \n\n\n\tCamera seems fine, but I don't really care about it.  Cameras are not included as a critical factor in my buying a smartphone.  I use the cameras on this and my Pro 1 for visual note taking more than anything else. Open Camera makes the cameras on both better.\n \n\n\n\tThe keyboard is great, especially when I add  @Rob. S.'s mod of the FinQwerty US layout.  This is, of course, the biggest reason for my wanting these phones. The keyboard on the Pro 1 and the Pro1x are both wonderful, but the layout on the Pro1x is much better.  I prefer non-shifted Qwerty and to finally be able to type a question mark without the Fn key... I have waited sooooo long.  Backlight on the keys is a little better on the Pro1x.\n \n\n\n\tThe Pro1x feels like it has a better build quality than the Pro1.  It actually feels thinner, although I don't think it is, it is just tighter, lighter and more comfortable in the hand.  Having learned quickly how to open a Pro1, even one-handed (no, I don't do that often, but I can), opening the Pro1x provided no challenge even fresh out of the box.\n \n\n\n\tThe back of the Pro1 is very slick.  Since I don't like cases (or screen protectors), I put a matte black Samsung Note 10 skin on the back of my Pro1 (the camera placement and length is the same, I just had to trim the width).  This gave the back just enough texture to ensure a firm grip.  Luckily, the back of the Pro1X is nowhere near as slick, because matching that color is hard (I tried and failed) and the color looks so nice I don't want to cover it with anything.\n \n\n\n\tThe fingerprint sensor is in a little better position on the Pro1x than the Pro1, but I'm pretty sure I would still keep setting it off when I don't mean to so I don't use it.\n \n\n\n\tBased on all the fiddling and testing I've done on it on some days while setting it up and testing coms, it seems to have reasonable battery life.  3200mAh is not a huge battery, but it gets me through the day.\n \n\n\n\tCamera bump doesn't bother me at all.  The only reason I would ever use the Pro1x on a surface is to watch videos and it doesn't bother doing that. It's a thumb keyboard.  I'm going to hold the Pro1x in my hands and thumbtype.\n \n\n\n\tI don't listen to music on it but I tested with both music and video and the speakers seem excellent.  No crackling here.\n \n\n\n\tFor now I am staying with the stock Android from July.  It's actually not bad, pretty vanilla, not as many annoying Google apps as one usually expects (still too many).  I'll stick with it for now, and if a new beta comes out I may test it (the current beta has already had a lot of testing), but I do plan to go to Lineage when it becomes available and not look back.\n \n\n\n\tUpshot, I'm pretty happy with my Pro1x.  It works for what I need and, though the Pro1 is great, I slightly prefer my Pro1x.  However, it is wonderful to have both.\n "
