Furiphone FLX1 with FuriOS
-
I see a few articles here and there in the specialist press about a new Linux Phone project: the Furiphone.
Launched in the USA last August and based on Debian 13 and the Gnome desktop environment, FuriOS uses a homemade version of WayDroid to run Android applications. The system would support IMS technology for VoLTE calls.
A visit to the website of the (commercial) distributor https://furilabs.com/ quickly reveals the hand-crafted nature of the project. Nevertheless, it could prove somehow interesting.
The ‘FAQ’ pages indicate that the developers have no plans to integrate another OS on this device, but are quite open to the development of an alternative OS if it is supported by the third-party organisation, why not Ubuntu Touch in the future.....So much for this just "nice to know" news item.

Just thought that you already had such a device in your hand... -
@tuXut Ok, well no... I'm sorry.
But I would be curious to see it running Ubuntu Touch one day
