I want to switch from android phone to linux and i want to know which phone is closest to daily driver. I only need call sms and bluetooth to work and battery should last 1 day. also working map camera and web browser app would be great. for os i have thinked to use ubuntu touch or postmarket os. Phones what i have most interested Volla phone Pixel 3a Fairphone 4 Pinephone or pinephone pro Any thoughts or ideas
I daily drive PinePhone Pro with the Pine keyboard to extend battery life. The experience is far from Android, but it’s usable.
What distro do you use? Is there anything that doesn’t work/works awfully? I understand the camera used to be a problem but dunno if that’s still the case
I use Arch Linux ARM (with Danct repos).
Camera works and sometimes broken after suspend, but I don’t use it. Audio on calls sometimes buggy. But megi resolved call issues, I updated today. Battery life is poor unless you use a keyboard. Battery indicator displays combined percentage which isn’t ideal.
Sounds good. I use my phone camera a lot so that’s a slight dealbreaker for me but could probably live with the rest. Super interesting to see how it’s improving all the time!

Yeah, if you need a camera, then I would highly recommend to stick with Android for now :)
