| Specification | Detail | Implication for Lineage OS | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AA) | Well-supported by Qualcomm. The MSM8974 is a legend in the custom ROM community. | | RAM | 3 GB LPDDR3 | Enough to run Android 11/12/13 smoothly. Don't expect flagship gaming, but multitasking works. | | Storage | 32 GB eMMC | Ample for OS + a dozen apps. | | Screen | 1440 x 1440 (453 PPI) | The major problem. Android expects a rectangle (usually 16:9 or 18:9). The Passport is 1:1. | | Keyboard | Physical QWERTY + Capacitive | The unsolved problem. Lineage OS sees it as a generic keyboard. Swipe gestures do not translate. |
