When my #mobile phone will be KO, I'd like to have a true (#GNOME) #LinuxPhone … and the FuriPhone #FLX1 by @furilabs seems to be a good candidate 
Built on the Gigaset GX6 :
- Removable battery
- 2 SIMs slots AND micro SD
- Robust
- B1, B3, B7, B20 and B28 bandwith (French 4G)
- Debian GNOME + Android layer
- Jack input …
… but expensive and maybe a bit too big 
An opinion ?

@danslerush @furilabs I've been eying this same phone. However, it's hard for me to justify buying one as I plunked down a bunch of money on a Pinephone Pro and accessories. I still can't use it as a daily driver, and that's disappointing.
The FLX1 uses Halium (which is why it gets great battery life) which I think is a big plus. However, some folks point out that by using Halium the FLX1 runs a much older kernel.
So...lots of pros and cons to think about.
@benpocalypse Thank you for your feedback ! And yes I see, but the FLX1 seems to be more reworked on the OS side with this "FuryOS" adaptation
Do you know where can I found the Halium / Kernel version report ?
@danslerush Sorry it took so long to find this, but this review is where I saw what kernel version it's running: https://blog.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1/
Apparently as of FuriOS 13.0.3 it runs Linux kernel 4.19.233.
@benpocalypse My apologies for the long response time (I hadn't seen your comment), but are you kidding? Thank you very much for your research, the information and this link! So yes, possibly a big minus, in terms of security it's not ideal
