Hardware remarks

The vibrations on this phone are rough: they can be OK for alarms and gaming, but for haptic feedback it’s likely you’ll want to turn them off.
The microphone build is of a rather low quality: the porter has done its best to tune the parameters and reduce the amount of noise, but there’s still a residual. If you are looking for high quality audio recording, this phone might not be for you.
There’s a FM radio chip in the phone, and efforts are ongoing to have it working in Ubuntu Touch
