I want a Linux phone but the only ones I know are old tech and not for primetime yet. Any suggestions?
Nice, I didn’t know it was this far ahead, I always had the impression that calling didn’t work. Maybe that is postmarketOS for FP4? I’d be interested to see if it could work as a daily driver for me. That said, I am pretty happy running CalyxOS on it now.
@800XL I can suggest Pixel 3a/3a XL, it works very well with Ubuntu Touch. Unfortunately, there is not so much apps yet for Ubuntu Touch just because you can’t simply install any app like on regular Linux distro - it either should be listed on OpenStore, or at Ubuntu’s 20.04 APT repos (in this case, it’s possible to install them via Libertine). Snaps/flatpaks is not supported yet.
Ubuntu Touch itself is in a pretty good shape now. But the tradeoff is a lack of apps
can anyone recommend a linux phone that’s not old tech
Suggests 6 year old phone
@dadarobot actually, Pixel 3a was announced at Google I/O at May 2019, so it’s even less than 5 years old (if we count it right after announce) so you’re lying right now.
P.S. do you have better ideas? Pixel 3a has 100% compatibility rate at UBports site and I personally use it as my secondary phone. Don’t like my recommendation? Fine, recommend something else. Probably something that you have been used for some time
