PinePhone with postmarketOS and Mobian as a backup OS. It's good enough for my needs, but I do wish Linux phones had more options. For one, I'd like a smaller phone than the PP.
When scrolling through calls and chats it will jump around like it would with a damaged touchscreen. However the top slider with the quick toggles scrolls fine. So the touchscreen is not damaged but some apps behave like it is. I think I'm due for another reinstall.
Do you follow the rolling updates or reimage each major version?
I continue to use the Pinephone because I bawk at the price vs longevity of hardware build quailty and software shovelware. Also the loss of features on mainstream smartphones such as the oooooh sd card and headphone jack. It's asine that these are considered "hard to find" and "features". The icing on the cake is parts availability. I break the screen, I install a new one in like a minute if I'm speed running it and all without any parts serialization.
I bought in right as the pro had launched but software was still in it's infancy. So I look forward to the Pro when I can afford it.
i have a poco f1 and alcatel idol3. both are ready for daily driving. i think idol3 is a little better than the pinephone despite being a 2016 phone, and poco is just amazing performance-wise. i have microg on poco and pmos on idol3, trying to migrate my whole workflow. apart from camera, everything's working quite smoothly.

Second the need for a smaller option. I use it on postmarketOS but it's buggy as hell. Is scrolling through the SMS app broken for you as well?
Broken how? It's buggy but usable for me.
