Aquarius NS M11 is it for sale in Russia or which one is the best phone with Aurora OS?Are they sim and bootloader locked ?I`m very interested to order one from Russia!

The only consumer available aurora phone at this time is f plus r570e. All other devices is b2b and may be locked or may be not (its depends which one device is leaked from company accured it) for user rights. But its not locked for sim.

Ulephone Armor X8 with Aurora OS on it.That’s very interesting :slight_smile: . Any Aurora OS images for it ?I can order it immediately for less than 100 Euro!
EDIT:Already found the images!

Lotta info here https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1079218 (conv in russian, use dictionary).

Already have them Aurora 4.0.2.303/Aurora 5.1.0.100.That was the first place to look at and understand everything ,no need for dictionaries :slight_smile:

Its updated to 5.1.1.60 and RuStore next on it.

Where did you find the device for buying? Thanks!

When I start to read deeper there is a slight problem.X8 its sold EAA and non-EAA with 2 different cpus and some of the backups are for MT6762DV which is not known to me.Ive found 2 second hand devices listed here in Bulgaria.One with broken usb port for 15€ and one frozen at bootloading screen for 35€ ,but both are MT6762D cpu.Brand new device its priced 140€ at official retailer.

Oh yes theres is two models. With some aurora flash issue on one of it to work usb port.

Display and usb port are not working on european model.The price in Russia is 15000 rubles …around 143€.Will send few emails here and there if they want to ship to Europe.

Its must works while flash some parts from another model.

Here it is stated Ayya T1 is also available for personal purchase Смартфон AYYA Т1 на базе российской ОС Аврора

Sony should pay the engineers of this device to teach them how to fit earpiece, sensors and LED into the 2mm rim of the phone frame instead of just collecting money for devices with a lot of shortcuts.

Still cant understand how 7 year old Sony Xperia XA2 has almost non existent side bezels and the “state of the art” Sony Xperia 5 V came out with no LED and almost 5mm side bezel instead of shrinking all bezels to less than 2mm without losing functionality…

It is, but you cannot use it.Only officials and workers in some companies can use it via QR code scanning.There are no public images or dumps!Normally the phone comes with android 11 and even some people got it in their hands(Aurora OS version) cannot update it.The best way to test latest Aurora its X8 from China!

Привет, юнаци!

I found the F+ R570Е also having the Aurora OS - still it’s available only in Russia.
Maybe one could obtain it via services like Grabbr.

Why would one want completely outdated hardware (see Ulefone Armor X8) with a closed source variant of SailfishOS? To me this sounds as a far worse combination than the Jolla C2 (still outdated but much better hardware) or a Sony Xperia with SailfishX.

Furthermore I am unable to find the Ulefone Armor X8 offered with AuroraOS, only with Android 10. Do you have a source?

You could use the forward2me site, if you trust them. I ordered from uk that way
