They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I’m still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.
It is. On their YouTube channel there’s a very interesting Q&A on their event earlier this year, here: https://youtu.be/os_fHy1mB_M There was a question specifically about making a smartphone. They explained it was very unlikely they’d ever do that and explained their reasoning behind it, so I’d highly recommend watching the video of you’re interested in how they think.
I plan to put postmarketos on this bad boy once I know the 5g will work. Cellular reception will be crucial more than anything for Linux phones to succeed.
Assume you mean the 13, I’ve had mine for a few months and love it too. Also really dig the refinements they’ve done with the 12 like the pogo pins and even more easily replaceable display
I have a Framework 14 for my school laptop and it really is a great little piece of hardware. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
Framework smartphone please. Though I think that is VERY unlikely.
Framework + GrapheneOS = ♥️
Bout to nut
Yes please, I already use Graphene but I would be so happy if I could finally ditch google entirely.
The closest thing to that that currently exists would probably be fairphone with /e/os
No thank you
Care to elaborate?
I considered it, but the specs were too low. Ended up choosing a Google Pixel instead.
what usage was limited by specs?

You can’t stop me from dreaming!
I would look at Fair phone. I imported one to the US and I love it.
I’ve thought about it, but in really holding out for a proper Linux phone, but we’ll see.

And a printer too.
it would cost a fortune
