        12/256 GB for Plinius Plus
        In both cases "expandable by up to 1 TB with MicroSD memory card"

          @libremax Very nice! Morevover, an Ubuntu Touch version will also be available thanks to a dual boot option:

            @libremax Nice!

            Seems like a good option, more affordable than Quintus. I Just wonder if eSim will be supported allowing dual sim as it supports only "1 nano, 1 eSIM"

              @pparent Indeed, and Volla has reintroduced the MicroSD port, which had unfortunately been removed from the Volla Quintus.

              That's very interesting!

                Nice device ! I picked the Fairphone 5 because it supported 5G and had a removable battery; if I had this choice available then, I would have preferred the Plinius.

                  Very nice!

                  Non-EU users, note that Volla will sell outside the EU via an indiegogo page linked from their main site. The Plinius page presently links to a Quintus Indiegogo page, but I'm sure one is coming for the Plinius.
                  Seems they've been selling internationally this way for a while. I didn't know.
                  Not much is written about cell network compatibility, for those of us in nations where networks may require "whitelisting" for a device to be able to make calls, etc. But I blame the networks and a lack of government oversight for this more than I'd blame a company for not going and asking cell networks all over the world to whitelist them.
                  Anyway, as ever, you need to do your homework as to whether the device will work on a given network. Nice to buy from a company directly supporting and working with UBports!
