@alexiuscrane If you are looking for a daily driver OS, and dont know coding, I sugest linage OS. If you are okay with bugs and okay with working with the comunity to make your device better Ubuntu Touch. I currently can not use UT for a daily driver, so i carry 2 phones atm. The pixel 3a has issues but i can make calls and text, not mms.

Maybe it would be possible, if device under android go have same OS "tree" than normal android device, but, as i tried to tell you, go devices have very few ram and hardware power, so it's not a good choice to port uTouch on it as it could be slow/laggy.If you're not confortable with english, you can use deepl translator website.
And i'll add unlike what some told to you, i use uTouch as my only smartphone device since 6 years without problem so this OS is a good option to replace gafam ones, and as a matter of fact, for me, it's the only daily device usable choice.

Forget about Meizu unless you find a used Ubuntu Touch native MX4 or PRO5 to buy because it is almost impossible to install uTouch on a android native one (bootloader locked with steel concrete).If you want to have a cheap uTouch device daily usable, choose Nexus 5 or One Plus One.

@keneda Good sugestion. Pixel 3a was picked up for under $100 USD. I think i found a nexus 5 for about $70 on ebay in the US.
Currently Using: Google Pixel 3a (sargo) OTA-17

You can find it even cheaper, at least in France, i bought my spare one (lot of scratchs on it, but screen ok) for 40€ sending fees included. -
@trwidick then buy a polarcell battery at the same time (about 40$) on ebay. It almost doubles the battery life and BELIEVE ME it's worth it
-
@keneda Dang thats awsome.
-
@emphrath WOW, it's 16.9€ on polarcell webstore!

@alexiuscrane said in Brand new phone with UBP ?:
Is this still possible today? I am running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, so that could be another way to go.
Easiest way on Ubuntu or Windows for installing uTouch is using UBports installer.
If your questiin was about installing uTouch on a phone that don't have a port already availiable, there is no easy way to do so.
