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.
This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.

Hardware details
Chipset
The basic chipset is MSM8x74 ("x" denotes the modem code), but conformance to a particular device table on that link are not clear.
Below is a superficial, pmos-independent attempt to determine the chipset details from userland. The test device is a 2GB/16GB Mi 3 (WCDMA 2013062 2014 stenciled on back case, below silver "mi" emblem), running twrp 3.1.1-0. Reference values are from Wikipedia.
