This is the “Furi” phone that runs Debian underneath. As I remember it was around $550 for a phone with no headphone jack, no SD slot, and the usual sealed battery (no idea about replacements but maybe that info is somewhere). There was another thread about it a few days ago.
I’m not that excited but maybe others here will be.
It says on the article it can take SD cards up to 1tb, and according to a reddit comment from someone who daily drives one, it has a removable back panel and battery.
I mean—it’s a good step in the direction of an actually usable Linux phone. And that would be great, being able to get a mobile OS outside of Google / Apple’s influence.

Actually they have a video on yet about a removable battery which is also waterproof, maybe the new model though.
I never heard about this phone before, but its android container seems very well engineered. I wonder how banking apps and android auto behave

Yeah. The original before this had a jack, etc. Actually want the original but apparently theyre not selling it anymore.
