I got myself Pinephone (not Pro) in December 2021. It was mostly unusable but very basic functions (make calls, send/receive SMS) out of the box at the time. Telegram client was very slow, Firefox had screen size problems, notifications were a mess. I think I should've tried to install another OS/env image, but alas I had no time for it. It was a nice try though, and I was impressed how far things got in mobile Linux ecosystem. Maybe something changed from the time, maybe Pro version is somehow better, but for now I think I'll abstain from experimenting for another year. Also, Serbia, where I am in right now, is notoriously bad with the procedure of receiving goods from abroad.


I'm using Pinephone with Mobian as a daily driver. Installing Mobian is as simple as writing iso to a microSD card and inserting it. Telegram and Firefox are somewhat slow but generally work reliably. Noscript helps a lot.


Maybe I have to give Mobian a try, thank you!
