Hello, I am looking for the optimum phone to install Ubuntutouch on, and I particularly want optimum battery life and, of course, a great camera. Which phone would you recommend I am looking at Xiaomi Poco x3 or M3 otherwise they are big for me. I currently have a Pixel 6 and Grapheneos but I would like a Linux UT in the past I also had Xperia 10 and Sailfish os. What would you recommend for everyday use with a good camera?
Just look at https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
I have a Pixel 3a and it’s a really great port.
I waiting for use UT on my Pixel 6, this will be perfect, for use on newer phones.
I’m looking at getting this phone to use with UT. Are there any bugs/limitations that I should know about? And do you have a sense of how long it will be supported for? Thanks :)
The Pixel 3a? As stated on https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ it’s the best port out there (and my previous experience with a OG Volla/GS 290 confirms this). Now is Ubuntu Touch perfect? No, and everything depends on your use-case (and because of no VoLTE support, the region you are in also matters). You can also try Droidian (https://droidian.org/) with a Pixel 3a, so given likely availability of a working, used device for less than USD/EUR 100 you can’t go wrong with it, IMHO.
I got a 3a and put UT on it but couldn’t make mobile data work on a UK sim. It was the same for Droidian unfortunately. Droidian looked especially cool.
