Recently I’ve released Oneplus 6(t) port and people have been quite happy with it sauce.
After which, people on my SailfishOS telegram group suggested an idea of tablet port and like, at least two people are interested and one of them wants to fund it (the device).
And because I’m a sucker for punishment and 5 ports and 9 apps doesn’t take enough of my free time I thought why not, not that I need or want a tablet.
So, because nobody wants to buy 2+ years old device or too expensive device, obvious idea was to get latest possible device on which sfos can run and from a vendor that has chances of not sucking so after bit of deliberation we settled on Xiaomi Pad 6 (specs). No clue if the port will be good because nobody can know that unless someone tries to port but xiaomemes and snapdragons have been good in past.
And I’m here to check the interest, if people would want such port and if they would buy the device, and so, do you want such port? Would you buy the device for the port?
I own one. As it is a family tablet, I can’t convert mine to SFOS (please no debate on this), but I can say that the hardware feels very nice and was well worth the price.
From this point of view I would say: good choice
2GB is plenty enough for sailfishos, i did not yet have a need for 50+ apps running concurrently. with 6GB you can run like 200 apps at the same time which is not needed
