Sony Xperia Z3C (sony-aries)

From postmarketOS Wiki
Icon WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it.
Note This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.
