FuriPhone FLX1: A Debian-powered brick that puts GNOME in your back pocket

As someone who is not treating their smartphone as a third arm, I am always interested in the latest "linux phones" that is not Android. I guess I am an easier customer to move over when the time comes.

As long as apps like discord, whatsapp.. or teams is available (I know whatsapp and telegram can be installed on Linux) then it should provide most of my personal and business needs.

This device looks interesting.

Going off topic - I do miss my firefox phone. It served a purpose for its time... and it cost me something like £50 and well for 5 years.

"It runs on top of the Krypton build of kernel 4.19, and uses Halium to call Android drivers."

That's unfortunate. I'm guessing this is likely due to blobs that the Dimensity 900 SoC requires.
