Im very interested in an officially supported linux phone, however the fitmware seems not to be upstream(yet?). I hope it will be upstreamed, or else were back to square one with linux mobile hardware support if they stop working on it!
China and upstream do not combine. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bootloader was non unlockable too.
Hong Kong only recently became part of China. (This was not correct, it became part of China in 1997). I’m sure the protests are fresh in people’s minds still. If anywhere would want private phones it would be HK.
They will upstream stuff, but sadly they are not going to mainline.
According to the Librem people: this is Android kernel (& other low level stuff) with Debian userspace, not a true Debian phone. https://social.librem.one/@dos/112686932765355105
At least it might actually get delivered, unlike the librem 5… /s (but not really)
A phone for furis? How nice :3
Yet another Linux phone with subpar specs. That processor is quite underwhelming even compared to Google’s Tensor G1, a proc that many regard as crap as is and it beats this Dimensity 900 handily.
I think about creating a phone out of a raspberry Pi compute module and include a dedicated NPU in the build 🤔
Huzzah! A Linux phone with specs that wouldn’t have looked pathetic five years ago!
Actually, those specs are comparable to the Pixel 7a I’m writing this on at a slightly cheaper price! Has the era of the Linux phone begun?
