I'm certainly interested to know what that state will be with the Meizu Pro 5... as I'm in the interesting position that I might get to choose in the next few days whether I get a replacement Pro 5 or a refund for mine which died a month after I bought it. I got a Flyme OS one and it was going to be my Christmas holiday project converting it to Ubuntu... but it died before I got the opportunity and so the Christmas project became tracking the postage back to China.
I know there is talk about upgrading Flyme OS to be Nougat based this year - but would that necessarily see kernel upgrades (such that the phone will be able to run snaps)? I guess the related question is from others that have the Pro 5 if I was just very unlucky or others have had hardware issues? Everything I've read suggested they a solidly built phone.
