F(x)tec is a UK-based technology company specialising in creating innovative and functional devices for people who value productivity, creativity, and style. Our products combined the best of both worlds — the productivity and precision of a physical keyboard and the latest mobile technology — into a single, powerful device.
Now, you might be thinking, “Why would anyone want a physical keyboard on their smartphone in 2023?” Well, let me tell you, there are plenty of reasons.
Enhanced Productivity and Efficiency
A primary benefit of keyboard smartphones is our increased productivity and efficiency. Typing on a physical keyboard is often faster and more accurate than on a touchscreen, allowing users to draft emails, write reports, or send messages more effectively. F(x)tec is passionate about providing users with the tools they need to work efficiently, making keyboard smartphones a perfect fit for our vision. The Pro1-X runs on Android, and you can download all your favourite productivity apps and customise your device to suit your needs.
Accessibility for All
Physical keyboards can be a game-changer for individuals with visual or motor impairments, as they provide a more accessible input method than touchscreens. By developing keyboard smartphones, F(x)tec demonstrates its commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that our devices cater to a wide range of user needs.
A Commitment to Choice and Flexibility
In a world where technology constraints often limit choice, F(x)tec strives to offer users the flexibility to choose the best input method for their needs. By providing a range of devices, including keyboard smartphones, we empower users to make the best decision for themselves and their unique preferences.
Differentiation in a Saturated Market
In an industry where most devices look and feel the same, F(x)tec’s keyboard smartphones stand out from the crowd. By offering a unique and refreshing option, we are able to carve out a niche in the market and attract customers who are looking for something different. This differentiation enables us to maintain a loyal customer base and continue developing innovative products.
Nostalgia and the Emotional Connection
One of the main driving factors behind F(x)tec’s commitment to keyboard smartphones is the strong emotional connection many people have with physical keyboards. Devices like the BlackBerry, Nokia E-series, and early HTC models evoke feelings of nostalgia for a time when smartphones were new and exciting. We at F(x)tec understand these memories’ power and aim to reignite that spark with its modern interpretation of the keyboard smartphone.
Our Keyboard
The Pro1-X offers multiple keyboard layouts including QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, and Scandinavian. The advantage of our keyboard phones is the availability of convenient keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C/V, Ctrl+R and the F(x) home button. These feature are not available on many touch screen phones which can enhance productivity.
Customisation/Personalisation
Flashing custom ROMs can provide benefits such as improved performance, additional features, and greater control over your device. The Pro1-X offers the ability to unlock the bootloader to unleash the power of customisation. The Pro1 can be flashed with operating systems such as LineageOS, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish, and more. However, the Pro1-X is able to flash Ubuntu Touch and LineageOS.
Our mission in 2023 is to enhance the smartphone industry by designing devices that cater to the user’s needs. We believe keyboard phones play a vital role in this landscape, and we’re proud to be pushing the boundaries to make this possible.
F(x)tec is constantly dedicated to developing and introducing new products.
