Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (sony-scorpion)

From postmarketOS Wiki
Warning 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 it supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.
