They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I’m still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.
It is. On their YouTube channel there’s a very interesting Q&A on their event earlier this year, here: https://youtu.be/os_fHy1mB_M There was a question specifically about making a smartphone. They explained it was very unlikely they’d ever do that and explained their reasoning behind it, so I’d highly recommend watching the video of you’re interested in how they think.
I bought a Fairphone 4 off Clove.co.uk and I live in Canada. After a year and a bit of enjoying that my wife agreed to replace her Pixel 4a with a Fairphone 5.
I plan to put postmarketos on this bad boy once I know the 5g will work. Cellular reception will be crucial more than anything for Linux phones to succeed.
Framework smartphone please. Though I think that is VERY unlikely.
Framework + GrapheneOS = ♥️
Dont they run x86_64?
So you coukd use qubes, if they gave a chip with the hot virtualization features?
Bout to nut
The closest thing to that that currently exists would probably be fairphone with /e/os
No thank you
Care to elaborate?

I considered it, but the specs were too low. Ended up choosing a Google Pixel instead.
what usage was limited by specs?
Yes please, I already use Graphene but I would be so happy if I could finally ditch google entirely.

You can’t stop me from dreaming!
I would look at Fair phone. I imported one to the US and I love it.

I’ve thought about it, but in really holding out for a proper Linux phone, but we’ll see.

And a printer too.
