      There was an Ubuntu phone. It failed.

  Battery life is limited by cell modem drivers being closed source and having to be reverse engineered.

    I like the idea of a continuum capable module desktop like canonical and Microsoft promised years ago.

    Pretty sure they meant a smartphone with a desktop OS installed on it (eg Linux phones), not just “phone that looks kinda like a laptop but still uses Android”

      That’s why I recommended this, their devices dual boot Android or Linux. One of their older devices quad boots by default

      This isn’t a fly by night operation, it’s got a loyal fanbase, and good hardware and software support. They’ve been manufacturing for a decade, before that this guys were doing PDAs.

  There, exacly what you want.
  Here’s a more budget one.

  GPD has been making “mini laptops” for a long while, now they try to make similar gaming handheld.
  I’m not sponoered nor I’ve bought this for myself. (yet)

  dude. you can just install a custom rom.

    As long as your phone model is supported by any custom mod. I have checked compatibility for almost all smartphones I owned, some 7 or 8 through the years.

    Not a single one of them was ever supported by a custom mod.

      but you did not check custom rom aupport before you bought tgem, cause did not want freedom and moddability. its on you.

        I consider price and technical specifications. I don’t have 200€ to spend on a phone. Most phones I bought were less than 100€ new. What I care about a phone is that it supports two SIM cards.

        With such constraints, choice is quite limited unfortunately.

        Is it worth having a free device? Indeed. Is it worth spending 4 times the price just for that? Not to me.

    Intentionally non-standard hardware does not get a real custom rom. It’s just a mod of Android which Google can render intentionally incompatible any time they want

      not like linux phones are super compatible
