This was revealed at CES 2015, and it sounds too good to be true.

  • 5-inch 1080p screen
  • 3100 mAh removable battery with wireless charging support
  • Snapdragon 801 @ 2.5GHz (quad core)
  • 3GB RAM
  • 64GB internal storage with 2 SD cards slots
  • 21MP rear camera, 13MP front camera, both optically stabilised and a camera shutter button
  • 4.4.4 with support for rooting/unlocked bootloader out of the box
  • Dual front firing Harmon Kardon speakers
  • IPX7 waterproof rating (30 min. submerged at 1 meter)
  • Finger print scanner (if you care about that)

Before this, my main interest was in the Sony Xperia Z4, but the trouble with unlocking bootloaders and rooting them is really a huge downside for me, and this has a removable battery which I doubt the Z4 will have.

I mean this literally sounds like my dream phone. If I had to pick a downside, it'd be that it looks a little ugly. But with those specs it's hard to complain.

it does look a bit ugly.. but do-able :) all depends on the price really.. and IMO it should be out with 5.0 not 4.4.4.

Given how they're giving root access out of the box and the beefy specs, I reckon this will be quite a popular phone among developers.
 
Whilst I can't say I'm sold on the aesthetics of it I have to tip my hat to them for allowing root access out of the box, this means for us tinkernuts we can do what we want but joe public will still have a secure mobile ( as secure as most anyway excluding knox etc )

I can see it being more a niche mobile with the dual sd slots and option to dual boot, still nice to see another player enter the fray
 
Is this the one with a possible of 320GB storage? It sounds insane spec wise but the look of it really puts me off. Nice to see they do have plans to upgrade to Lollipop and it's prerooted... what's the catch :p?
 
Great phone but FUGLY as hell. Let's see if this device comes to fruition...then AlecR and I, along with SpaceMonkey will definitely be buying it. :D
