#FuriLabs
@mukto_manob @rysiek As someone whose daily driving #postmarketOS (stable phosh) on a #Librem5, I think that mobile Linux is sufficiently advanced for non-developers to use, especially if they are already used to #DesktopLinux.
#FuriLabs devices even come with Android app support enabled out of the box and have higher specs, so I'd expect them to be more normie-friendly.
@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.
Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

FLX1S is a new Linux phone that's... mostly a downgrade from the FLX1 https://liliputing.com/flx1s-is-a-new-linux-phone-thats-mostly-a-downgrade-from-the-flx1/ #Flx1, #Flx1s, #FuriLabs, #FuriLabsFlx1s, #Furios, #LinuxPhone, #Linuxsmartphones, #Mobian
@SanctimoniousApe Yes, I think the previous one may have been a Gigaset #GX6. That could be a good thing comparedto engineering a phone like Purism, Pine64, etc. It's just going top to bottom, rather than the reverse, so normie-users get stuff working out of the box and can daily drive it.
I don't think #FuriLabs are opposed to engineering a phone with mainline kernel support, but who is going to finance that? Certainly not enough users willing to pay for the purist approach - which I support BTW as #Librem5 / #postmarketOS user. So their approach does make sense with very limited money, time and support.
I ended up doing the opt-in to get the FLX1s.
I did the opt-in mainly because I want to support what FuriLabs is doing.
I do want a (non-Android) Linux phone. And, I do care about privacy a lot. I have wanted a phone like this for a while.
And, they are trying to build one that might be good-enough for me to ditch Android
...
I do hope that they also create a model with a better screen, better camera, and a headphone jack later. I'd buy it, too
FLX1S is a new Linux phone that’s… mostly a downgrade from the FLX1
The Furi Labs FLX1S is a new smartphone with a a 6.7 inch FHD+ display featuring a 90 Hz refresh rate, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor (which was released in 2021). The phone is up for pre-order for $550 and it’s expected to ship in October.
While that price might seem a little steep for a phone with those specs, there are a few things that make the FLX1S […]

I like that the (new) FLX1s has more RAM than the FLX1.
But the FLX1 has a better screen.
I like the hardware kill switches for the Mic, Camera, & Modem of the FLX1s.
But the FLX1 has a regular headphone jack while the FLX1s doesn't.
I like the lighter weight of the FLX1s.
But the FLX1 has a removable battery while the FLX1s doesn't.
The FLX1 also has IP68 water-proofing while the FLX1s doesn't. (I have had phones submerged in water before.)
I pre-ordered the FuriLabs FLX1 Linux phone back in February.
Furilabs is giving me an option to switch to another model of their phones.
I've heard that modern Linux Mobile is about where Linux on the desktop was 20 years ago. In 2004, Ubuntu was released, and was called a distro that pretty much just works as long as you know enough of what you're doing. In 2024, the Furilabs FLX1 with FuriOS launched, which I've heard a lot about being a Linux phone that pretty much just works as you would expect a phone to work. Not to dismiss early efforts like MeeGo and Maemo.
