@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 learned today that the #flx1 from #furilabs might be a rebranded #Gigaset #GX6

This is a German based smartphone company. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but I would suspect it's easier to work with an existing product instead of making a new one.

So sieht übrigens das neue #Gigaset #GX6 aus, wenn man einfach den Deckel abnimmt: 😱
