It feels and looks wrong: their website is a mess and the devices look no better.

Their domain has whois privacy enabled, and it was just registered this year. News of this product are spreading quickly, but I can not find anything else about this company on the web. Also, their Wikipedia page was removed today.

Has anybody heard of Linshof before?

Never heard of them, but here is some interesting verbiage for something that has not launched yet: "New ‘Battery Saver’ mode" -- How is it new if we haven't seen the old.

It also seems pretty unlikely you would launch 3 separate devices at the same time, but maybe they are that talented in Vienna.

Battery Saver mode is a new feature in Lollipop that does exactly what the name says. It turns on when battery life reaches 15%, or you can turn it on manually.

Not sure if what they advertise is just the vanilla Battery Saver from Lollipop, or a modified one.

They look like an asian company that decided to adopt a vaguely european name (most likely a take on Linhof). The design looks like asian knockoffs I've seen.
