      Hi guys !

      I am going to buy a phone specially to use it only with UT OS. Could you please tell me is there any preferences among available smartphones on the market? Which models tend to have less glitches, problems with this OS?

      Sorry for my probably stupid question, I'm new to this topic πŸ™‚

      Thanks in advance!

        @UTdroid Different people will advise different devices, depending on their own experience of course.

        For me, the Pixel 3a works great. Hardly any glitches to speak of.

          @arubislander thanks for your advise! But not all devices support this OS right? Is there some kind of a table where I can see all devises which can run on UT OS ?

          Tanks!:)

            @UTdroid Quite simple to find that list on Google or on the UBports website:
            https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io

              Whatever device you choose, choose one that got 20.04 (Focal) update.
              Best Focal supported phones are Fairphone 4 and Pixel 3a BTW.

                @Keneda ohhh unfortunately I cannot find these devices on the market in my country:( probably have to buy something like OnePlus 6t πŸ€”

                Ps I really like this forum and the engin it's powered buy πŸ™‚

                PS2: thanks for the list with supported devices, for some reason Google didn't show it when I was looking πŸ˜”

                  I've never tried that one, but i use a OnePlus 5t and it's very good!

                  Is currently using an Op5t
                  Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                    I'm using the Pixel 3a since... today πŸ™‚
                    well, I'm on 20.04, it's working so good.
                    I'm missing UTtweaktool btw.
                    If I click reboot it goes bootloop.
                    Camera doesn't focus automatically, but pressing does the job.
                    GPS is quite slow

                      @UTdroid Hello, UTdroid, as @zubozrout wrote, the list on the UBports site with 21 supported devices (today and with the Focal OS version) is the best source to check compatibility with Ubuntu Touch. I was making the same decision as you a year ago. Phones marked with an asterisk should be the safest option, as I understand they are strategic for the community. But for me all of them were hard to buy or simply I did not like them technically (maybe I was wrong). In the end, I chose the Redmi Note 9 Pro. The argument was high progress of implementation of full functionality (98.2% now). And it was a good move - the device works great and I am happy with it. Probably, regardless of your final decision, there is no 100% certainty that the specific port will be maintained, but it is natural for open community. Make your good choice and have fun with Ubuntu Touch πŸ˜‰

                      device with Ubuntu Touch: Redmi Note 9 Pro
