At this point the only phone I would be excited for would be the Motorolas with GrapheneOS. Wouldn't mind paying a little premium for them either.

same i dont even mind if the screen is shit, kust give me dual physical sim + esim and a big battery.

After experiencing the terrible security standards around eSims I crave dual physical slots like nothing else.

Apparently most carriers won't let you manage a sim via your account (because people often get them hacked and lol we're not gonna implement better policies) so instead you need to visit a store if you want it unlocked or moved to a new carrier. Which defeats the entire purpose of it being an eSIM in the first place.

what about devices that dont run on ios/android like ubuntu touch or sailfish os?

[–] eldebryn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Something more libre would be ideal ofc, I'm just afraid we're more than a couple years away from those.

Linux/FOSS adoption is fine on desktop because you can always have another PC at home as backup.phones are a digital lifeline though. Most of us need a greater stability and reliability from the software in such devices, as no one wants to be carrying and charging two phones.

true. but its a chicken egg problem. no users. no software. no software. no users.
