Furiphone FLX1 with FuriOS

stanwood

@tuXut Not at all.
Don't know how the project is going now, but it seems the devices are now ready to be ordered on their website.

@Moem
Thanks, I know the site

@stanwood
1 series is already sold out...
Just thought that you already had such a device in your hand...

stanwood

@tuXut Ok, well no... I'm sorry.
But I would be curious to see it running Ubuntu Touch one day

tuXut

@stanwood
Me too... I would like to try out the FuriOS...

stanwood

It has already been posted somewhere on this forum a few days ago by @libremax so sorry for the duplication...

Ubuntu Touch seems to be running (well) on the new Furiphone FLX1 and should be officially be part of our supported devices I hope quite soon.
It will/should support double boot feature with FuriOS as well as possibly VoLTE.

I tried to look for reviews of this phone I can't seem to find a decent one on Youtube. One video says full review but the video never even showed the device in use

@kugiigi
Maybe this is something...

@tuXut Interesting and definitely worth to watch. (Use a live translation subtitle because it's in German)

Though, no mention to Ubuntu Touch nor UBports in the video.

@libremax has gave further information on the french Ubuntu community forum. I translate his comment below in English:

"Note that the port is being developed by the same FuriLabs team that developed the FLX1 and FuriOS.
What's more, dual boot is also supported, making it a competitor to the Volla devices.
For the moment, it works with an SD card. It remains to be seen whether the main storage memory can be used at a later date (as announced for the Volla Quintus and Volla Tablet)."

Looks like FuriLabs have Ubuntu touch applications running on the FLX1, installed via the gnome software app.

@DenMoore ~~That's not the way I read it. Rather, there is a UT port for the FLX1 that is almost fully functional.~~

Seems you were right after all: https://social.likeadragonmaid.dev/@fakeshell/114226704623272146
