You can't test UT on a device that's not supported. There are no installation files for it, so there is nothing to test.

@Moem
Then what this video wants to say ?

You can understand it is about any android phone...

@dragsidor26 @Moem is correct. You cannot install UT on any Android device. UT has to be ported to that device which is a difficult and time consuming process. The device used in the video is a OnePlus6/6T which has a port and works well on UT.

I would like very much to have linux on my kingkong 9, because it has octacore processor and 24 Gb RAM, almost better than my laptop...

Well... if it's possible at all, it would have to be done by someone who

• has the device in hands
• is willing to risk breaking it
• does not need it as a phone during the porting process
• is willing to spend the weeks or months on porting it

If that sounds like it could be you, start reading here: https://docs.ubports.com/porting/

@Moem
Good morning and yes I think I could check all 4 points but I need guidance in the process, IT and coding are not my strong points. If you understand the process and you know how to do it, we may make a team
Well ?

I do not. Also, I don't have that phone. I cannot help you do this.

I've given you the link to the documentation; inside that, if you read it carefully (which would be needed anyway) is the link to the Porting group on Telegram, where you can get help with specific questions.

My thought was: my phone and your experience, like in zoom or telegram meeting to solve this together
But thank you for all recommendations
Did you seen a presentation with this wonderful and cheap (200+ euro) phone - looks better than Pinephone which is double price !
