Samtime tries out a Fairphone 6 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 a OnePlus Nord N10 5G I picked up to play with Ubuntu Touch.

    Now that VoLTE works I can actually make and receive calls which makes it nearly usable.

    I wish RCS could work but that may be out of their hands. Group texts (MMS) don’t work either unfortunately.

    It’s close to usable but still not ready for me personally.

    I did contribute to Ubuntu Touch though by adding Colemak keyboard layout support and they accepted my pull request :D

      RCS has no documentation on how to be implemented… Thank you for the contribution btw

      Cool! I’ve got the N100, and experience is similar. I’m trying to build up some motivation to use it daily for a while.

      Good on you for the development work, and congrats on you accepted pull!
