10 sats \ 4 replies \ @Hypnagog 17 Aug 2023 \ on: Linux Phone Options you Should Know About tech
I had a pinephone pro. I have to say the effort is there but really not fit for purpose so I really hope more research, capital and time gets devoted to linux phones.
The biggest issue for me was that the battery last a MAXIMUM of 1 - 1.5 hours on full charge just browsing the web. There was no battery management at all and the hardware was on at 100% usage 100% of the time.
That's a big drawback.
It was more of a portable computer than a phone replacement.
The biggest pro was that I wasnt using android or iPhone, which I loved. I love linux and really hope this moves forward
Thanks for your info. You are right they need to improve their hardware power to bring more people to Linux phones. But I really love Linux and I really happy to see they are growing up (little by little). Let's hope to see next 2-3 years.
But I' m really interested in Volla phone right now because They look very promissing and with a good price. I'm bullish with all it. :)
Edit: posted again to fix some gramar

Calling an open android port "linux" is a stretch. Limeageos and calyx and graphene are also by definition "linux" if that stance is taken, so you could just as well put "linux" on any phone using those.

You are right. That's why in ProX Phone I put one of the OSs "Google's Linux". I know this is not correctly technical but I'm trying to separate Normal Android as Google Linux from Others OS Linuxes and Anddoird Google Free forks as Linux as well. My focus is to support those companies that put it already pre-installed.
