Samtime tries out a Fairphone 4 running Ubuntu Touch and it seemed pretty fine. Noted issues were the second camera not working, GPS/Map app being a bit weird, and imo, the screen showing all the apps you have open is terrible. But with the reg app store and waydroid, I think it could be almost managable to use.

My mom is a battery life fiend though, so that part she won’t let go of. What’s your thoughts?

    I have both pinephones and I don’t love either…

    but I do love their e-ink notepad and SBCs and pinetime etc. basically everything, just not the phone.

      Haha yeah I’ve heard that they aren’t great, though most of the input I’ve seen is focused on the original rather than the pro. suppose I may be better served with some older compatible android phone after all.

      also happily using the pine time, along with the pinecil v2. I’ve thought about the e-ink display and I’m glad that’s serving you well.
