When my #mobile phone will be KO, I'd like to have a true (#GNOME) #LinuxPhone … and the FuriPhone #FLX1 by @furilabs seems to be a good candidate 🤓
Built on the Gigaset GX6 :
- Removable battery
- 2 SIMs slots AND micro SD
- Robust
- B1, B3, B7, B20 and B28 bandwith (French 4G)
- Debian GNOME + Android layer
- Jack input …
… but expensive and maybe a bit too big 🤔
An opinion ?

@danslerush @furilabs It runs surprisingly stable, linux mobile on other devices has been mostly a miss with new updates breaking more than they fix, the Librem 5 worked well then after an update did not, so far the flx1 has worked well pulling from stable, or staging which is incredible in my mind. Android integration is way more robust than with the C2 Jolla Community phone Sailfish OS 5, wake from sleep works very well though occasionally I do have to toggle mobile data
