@dshimer I agree, I was off ubports for a bit because my wife's phone died and she needed (Android, sigh) a replacement quickly, thus a Nexus 5 was used up. But I presently laid hands on another, and here I am back with a daily driver again! This one was, hmmm, like $60, with everything including battery in good condition.

I would also love a Pixel Port...

it seems uber expensive to buy one of their pre installed Pixel phones, and it's also rather restrictive for application options. interesting approach though to hardening Android.

It would be cool to have dual boot with UT to try out both. probably not going to be possible.

Will Pixels be candidates for future UT porting?

I for one would be happy to see a BQ phone being supported going forward. The new BQ Aquaris phones seem good to me. With prices ranging from E170 to E340 and Qualcomm Snapdragon processors too. I have had my E4.5 for what seems like an age now. I remember waiting for the flash sales, that was truly a frustrating way to get to buy a phone. I got one eventually and have used it everyday since. If I could buy a new BQ phone with Ubuntu Touch I'd buy it immediately. I don't really care too much about convergence I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTE at home and I have put an SSD in my corporate machine at work with it on too (shhhh, don't tell the IT Technical services team 🙂 . Good file syncing will do at this point.

Yes. I use it since weeks and it is reliable...

The Nexus 5 has some problems with video recording, so i'd say the FP2 delivers a better experience. But of course, the FP2's price tag might influence your decision... Used Nexus 5 devices can be found pretty cheap. Both are an ok experience.

@Flohack, OP3T comes with OxygenOS which is based in Android 6.x or Android 7.x depending version.
