@turbowafflz @Sunshine Furiphone FLX1s from @furilabs runs an open source OS and has very decent specs.

I forgot about that, it does look nice. Maybe once it's been out for a while and I can see what people think of it I'll think about getting one

Not after the nerfed the screen and some other things compared the the FLX. Why????

@Auli Depends on how you look at things.

I consider it an upgrade with a few acceptable tradeoffs. The extra 2GB RAM can make huge difference epecially with bloated Electron apps, Waydroid, etc running in the background.
