Device Info
The exact model of it is unknown. Searching for the HomeX X1 online will only get you info about the X1 Ultra. However, the X1 Ultra seems to be different from the X1 in appearance, so this one might not be the X1 Ultra. From searching online, the X1 Ultra and the X1 seem to share a CPU.
The code name is from a sticker on the back side of its PCB.
