Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y’all are using and what your experience has been.

What sucks is in the USA you need VOLTE for the phone to work, and I’ve not found a phone that clearly supports it
Looks like BM818 in Librem5 supports VoLTE, but might have issues with some networks.
PinePhone’s (and one of Mudita’s phone’s) EG25 modem technically supports VoLTE, but was very flaky for me (in a mid-low signal area)
FuriLabs (FLX1) seems to have VoLTE working.
Ubuntu Touch explicitly states that it does not support VoLTE.
FuriLabs was looking promising, but the new version of the phone is a downgrade in a lot of categories, and the old phone is not available anymore. Disappointing at the moment, hopefully more hardware options in future from them.
Ubuntu Touch doesn’t officially support it yet, but it is working reliably for several phones now.
Wtf is this?
Voice over LTE, meaning in the USA we don’t have 3g anymore so the phone has to support voice over LTE
Or just use WiFi?
Not exactly useful if you’re not in an area with WiFi.
