Maintainer notes

The phone was released in early 2019, and was especially targeted to the Indian and Chinese market. It is, however, possible to get it delivered to other countries.

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
