WARNING: This device cannot run postmarketOS, as its architecture is unsupported.

This device is still running on armhf, although it supports armv7. If you own it, change the device packages' architectures, test it and submit a patch.

This device has been archived. This means that it no longer appears in pmbootstrap and is likely broken.
It can still be selected in pmbootstrap init by typing in the vendor and codename, but you will have to build the kernel package manually.

This device is based on the Snapdragon 800.

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.
