Samtime tries out a Fairphone 6 running Ubuntu Touch and it seemed pretty fine. Noted issues were the second camera not working, GPS/Map app being a bit weird, and imo, the screen showing all the apps you have open is terrible. But with the reg app store and waydroid, I think it could be almost managable to use.

My mom is a battery life fiend though, so that part she won't let go of. What's your thoughts?

No idea who this guy is, but that was a hilarious video. Heaps of little jabs to highlight some of the very real weirdness of it all, but a decent enough demo to show that it all does intact work.

    I'm not subscribed but I do watch his videos whenever I stumble on them and they're pretty good. He takes the piss out of Apple and Microsoft equally and regularly dunks on Google as well. I don't think he really centers on Linux very often, if at all, but whatev. Good watch, I recommend [not that my opinion is worth anything]
