By the way, which is the most usable Linux phone at a reasonable price?

@lolgzs @pavel @justin
@Lioh

Thanks!

I forgot to mention camera. Thats important too. Doesn't need to be a 1892890190 mega pixel camera but just a picture of a sunset for example would be nice.

So...
- camera
- battery (20% at 8pm)
- calls
- text messages
- browser (search and read here and there)
- matrix

@techsaviours @lolgzs @pavel @Lioh ah camera is one of the rarer things that work on mobile Linux.

@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh as long as it's still patched for any security issues that are found.

If I remember right, last year when I went kayaking, I left itin suspend for asbout 8 hours and it wss down to around 40-45%. Since it is my daily driver, I don't usually leave it in suspend that long.
Light usage, it will last most of the day.
I keep a charger at the house and office, as well as in my jeep and backpack so that I always have one wherever I go.

@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
It has been over a year since I used the pinephone, but usability on the Librem was vastly improved over the pinephone when I moved over. Call quality on the pinephone made it virtually unusable as a phone a year ago.

@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
No, its not great, but it is a vast improvement over both the librem and pinephone a year ago.
I keep a charger at work, at home, in the jeep, and in my backpack. I have accepted the fact that I will probably ruin the battery.

Do you use the original pp or pro?

I just updated my Android to version 14 and now had to experience that lsposed github repo is archived. I was still using xprivacylua.

Anyway, I'm tired of Android. I want to try Linux Mobile again.
Does call work on the Pro?
I have 3 batteries, so it could last at least a day.

Still looking for a oneplus 6 as well.

@techsaviours @pavel @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
I have used both. but I haven't used either in over a year. Calling was much better on the PP than on the Pro a year ago. The Pro was virtually unusable as a phone (though, I managed for a year myself with it).
Call quality and general usability is why I recommend the Librem. It is definitely more expensive but overall it is a much better product.

@pavel @techsaviours No camera support for OnePlus 6 nor Pixel 3a on PostmarketOS yet. You have to use either Ubuntu Touch or Droidian

@anyDr0id @techsaviours @droidian @gnumdk I have a #pixel6 with droidian. Not functional for daily driver but developing fast, and fascinating to dip into every now and then

@davidoclubb @techsaviours @droidian @gnumdk It's a shame but Droidian is not fully functional on the Pixel 6. It wasn't even on the official website as a compatible device. I have used Droidian on the RN9Pro as a daily device and it is wonderful. Now I'm waiting for @gnumdk to add it back to the community devices

@anyDr0id @davidoclubb @techsaviours @droidian

You can test it if you want :)
