I am hoping sooo much that those LinuxPhone projects get to basic call,network and photo functionality before Google completely locks down the ecosystem. GrapheneOS and LineageOS have served me well up to now but it looks like the noose is getting too tight.
Hell, my wife is even asking if she can or should get a 5G ‘flip phone’ as she’s heard how bad it might get soon.
I made the mistake to trust Fairphone when they released the Fairphone 3. They gave a shit about the Linux kernel and did not give you access to the source. It took heavy customer protest until they eventually complied to the GPL.
I’m holding out that more manufacturers will see the demand for Androidless phones and will either partner with some OS like Motorola + GOS or maybe sell them with bootloader unlocked to install whichever OS is preferred.
That video that they showed about that phone was 100% satire. Not to mention Nothing unfortunately is looking more and more like an Apple wannabe. Not trusting that company anymore after that crap.😒
Yeah…it really did. Thats the phone that you, myself and so many want and they really dont realize how big of a customer base they would get if they put that plan into action.
If the phone was real, i was so ready to be a customer of theirs. Ive been waiting for them to “make” a resonable size phone and not the phablets they have. Instead, they came out with the shitty Nothing 4b for their India market, which showed how bad in quality they’ve gotten. I highly dought after the phone 3 if theyll make good phones again. In the US market, only phone you can get of thiers is the Phone 3 and 4a pro (good luck trying to find the others) 😅
Depends on if future Nothing phones meet GrapheneOS’ standards for hardware security, or if the Graphene team decides to partner with Nothing like they’re doing with Motorola.
Sailfish OS does have that functionality already and is not Android based but it does get a lot of hate for having some closed source UI components. So I guess it is a matter of requirements and priorities
you can get some phones with lineage and /e/os preinstalled. Look at the fairphone or the swiftphone. A 5G flip phone is coming from commodore. Its called the Callback.

Like https://commodore.net/store/callback-8020/ ?
Neat! Thanks. They really sold this to me
Hmm, that could be neat thanks!
Wish there was an Atari version though :)
Yep, I’ll definitely be getting a Fairphone 6 next: https://catcrafts.net/posts

I just hope someone fights google. They destroy everything I grew up loving.
I was hoping you were fighting…
I don’t think I can legally fight google

You think Nothingphone might be next candidate for GOS? Their concept phone shipped without an OS at all.

For real? That concept phone really checked a lot of boxes for me haha

I’m perfectly happy with my Fairphone 6 with /e/OS
Ok it’s cool and all but I am NOT paying fucking $400 for a flip dumb phone, that’s also entirely plastic.
they did lower the price and preorders get another 100$ of i think so you can get ist for 200$ i think.
