There is a real lack of full-fledged reviews from device owners. I use Xiaomi Poco F1 with postmarketOS as a test and it just has a huge number of bugs and shortcomings. I would be interested in comparing it with FLX1, since according to the information I read on the Internet, it has been significantly improved to a usable level.
Make a video please!
I think the reason you don't see videos are:
1. Not many have been purchased as of yet
2. Many of us haven't started daily driving it yet.
I bought mine back in August but as of yet haven't started daily driving it. I was waiting for US bands which just dropped, and I have been tracking down a bug with rtlsdr usage which I just submitted a pull request and documentation to fix.
I expect once my pull is merged and I have time to migrate from my current (original) Fxtec Pro1, I will fully switch over.
I am not sure what your background is but the closest thing to it is SailfishOS, which is more mature but Furi are catching up quick.
I still prefer SFOS gestures over posh, and alien dalvik (SFOS Android container) supports a bit more. The benefit Furi has over SFOS is the debian aarch64 repos are far deeper and have more than the SFOS repos, and Furi don't have to keep every aspect up to date since they are using many opensource pieces, just modify things to work in their environment.
In the very short time I have had mine, Amazon Prime Video started working in their android container (still a rotation issue, FuriOS needs to be in portrait so the android container rotates appropriately, and even old Netflix still doesn't work, but it took SFOS years to get to that point) and a good coverage array of US bands dropped
the reason there is not any reviews as of yet is because we want to polish the system enough to be functional and usable before getting more users on. fixing issues with less users is much easier and it will save lots of time and headache in the long run
I recently purchased my own, will likely do a short lookover and will start daily driving the thing once it arrives. Will post it in a few weeks after that :))
But it would be possible to make a review and hide it from the search so that it would be available only through a direct link?
In particular, I'm interested in how far your team is willing to go to make a truly user-friendly phone. For example, in pmOS it really irritates me that when I rotate the screen, the entire interface jumps, as if the resolution on a desktop monitor is switching. But as far as I understand, this is quite difficult to fix.
In fact, there are many more questions. I thought it was better to see once than to bother with many questions. 🙂

I've been using SFOS for a while. Unfortunately, the impression remains that the system has been abandoned. Technical support responds once a month, half of the app store has not been updated for more than 5 years and not all applications launch. Even the recent update to 5.0 doesn't seem to have made any significant changes.
Ah I stopped using SFOS in the 3 versions due to moving back to the states. Once VoLTE dropped I didn't have easy access to a VoLTE supported phone and license. I noticed the same as you, the SFOS repos were frankly bad, and defaulting to android apps primarily kinda defeated the purpose.
Thus far with the Furi phone, I am mostly using linux programs with just a few android apps.
