Shift5+
Shift is the name of
said company, and the smartphone that we're talking about is called Shift5+ .
According to its maker,
the Shift5+ is its flagship smartphone, and will be available to pre-order
starting December for € 399 (around US$ 342). It doesn't look like the Shift5+ is
as customizable as an Ara phone, but Shift says users can easily swap its battery,
display, and other important components, though it's not exactly clear how and
for how much extra components will be sold. Anyway, base specs should include a
5-inch IPS display, a Qualcomm processor, at least 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of
storage space, 13 MP and 5 MP cameras (rear and front), and a battery with
capacity up to 3000 mAh.
Interestingly, the
Shift5+ can run either Android, or Windows 10. To be clear, you can choose
between Windows 10 and Android when you're ordering the handset, but you won't be
able to change between OSes after you get the phone (so this isn't a dual-boot
device).
