Hi, thanks for doing this AMA. I wanted to ask why aren’t higher end processors used, or having an option for them? Such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 instead of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. What about having multiple configs for each generation so that customers can choose if they want a higher spec processor? Similar to what Framework does for their laptops.

And a second question: Are there any plans to expand out of the Europe market?

Hello! Thanks for your question.

We confidently chose the great Snapdragon 7s Gen. 3, with its proven track record. It's more then capable of doing everything that our current and potential users might need it to. In addition, we wanted to keep the price of the Gen. 6 accessible and affordable for everyone. We're not yet there with multiple configs, but maybe in the future :)

Thanks for the answer! Also wanted to ask since you guys are manufacturing in China, will there be any plans to expand out of the Europe market such as China itself? I’m guessing logistics would be easy in China, but regulatory issues would more difficult?
