Is this the one that will support GrapheneOS?

[–] Dylan@catodon.rocks 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Hard to say for sure. GrapheneOS confirmed on Xitter, but then seemed to immediately backtrack in the next sentence saying "wait for official news". I'm not sure what that means, is this communication not "official news"? Does only Motorola have "official news"?

It just means that they are unable or unwilling to give further details at this time.

[–] Dylan@catodon.rocks 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I don't need further details, I just need confirmation...

But after looking more at this device, it looks like it will cost ~$1800, which takes it out of consideration anyway.

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They confirmed it, they literally answered yes.

[–] Dylan@catodon.rocks 1 points 1 hour ago

We've already been over this...

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

The fuck, my laptop didnt cost that much!

[–] theyllneverfindmehere@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I'm actually interested but as of right now it's listed with no sd card support so I immediately lost interest.

[–] aqua_cat@pawb.social 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If sd card and/or 3.5mm jack is what you're after Sony Xperia might just be your best choice. But if recent sony is anything to go by we won't even have that soon enough.

Oh well.. let's hope linux phones become mainstream by then.

[–] theyllneverfindmehere@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's funny you mention the Xperia, I'm still rocking my Xperia 1 V. It has some flaws but for the most part it's been a great phone. I was considering their newst one but I was disappointed to find the changed the aspect ratio. I've gotten used to the akinny long form factor.

Here's hoping for the Linux phones. I have the Jolla phone hopefully arriving this month. I'm still compromising with that because it has no HDMI out so I can't use it like a porta-pc. But I want to give it a fair shake.

[–] aqua_cat@pawb.social 3 points 11 hours ago

As an ex Xperia and current JP 2026 owner.. it is fine.

No display out is a bummer, as is no 3.5mm but at least sd card is here and their android translation layer is actually pretty decent so Whasapp, my banking app and Eternity which I'm writing this from all work without a single crash, though some animations withig Android apps are a bit weird. UI is a long shot from Android and is missing some things I never even thought a phone could miss (if you disconnect a wired headphones music just starts blasting without pausing on main speakers and little things like those), but with pachmanager witch applies cummunity made patches to OS it gets a pass at least. Hardware is good, it is software that drags it down, as is usually the case with linux phones, but that can be fixed in future.

Hope you can too enjoy your Jolla Phone!

No 3.5mm jack nor radio either :(

My Nokia 110 4G has microsd, 3.5mm jack, a radio and a 12 days of battery life if that is all you require.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I live in a place where Whatsapp is really ingrained in daily interactions.

I'm considering a bar phone, but with Android: https://www.dumbphones.org/?region=Europe&whatsapp=Yes&signal_app=Yes

[–] GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I had a Samsung xcover 6 pro, dual Sim, removable battery, audio jack, micro sd

it was a bit big for my standards, I'm happier with my pixel now

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Yes, I had it on my radar for a bit, the size was definitely a concern

I like the spider eyes.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

All I want to know is if it has satellite communications and the battery life
