@dos As a point of comparison, i did the exact same 30 min workout on my #FLX1 in the same conditions, only gapless + flatpak app for a more apples to apples comparison.
There wasnt any lag at all and no music cutout during the scan. Used about 9%/30mins so 18%/hour estimated. So not too far off but the big difference is the FLX1 has really good standby so even if the workout is at the end of the day its more likely that you will have enough juice at that time.
Thank you @furilabs team for making a phone with good battery life. Just did a 75 minute workout on my indoor bike and logged it all with the #FLX1 Only lost just shy of 20% while connected via bluetooth to my earbuds, heart rate strap, indoor bike. Playing music in gapless, browsing the web in firefox and jotting down notes, processing the hr/bike ble packets and displaying them in my workout app. Great not having "range anxiety" on #mobilelinux hope more devices follow
Not too shabby, able to get my training in without missing a beat and listening to my music.
@fbinin I'd say it's worth flashing it just to get a sense of how the interface itself works and to experiment before actually buying a new device. (Also, there's a chance that someone will figure out the drivers for it later and then you can use it: my camera started working a bit only a few months after I'd set up #Mobian on my #PocoF1)
Long term, a secondhand Poco F1 would be good for a cheap option but if you're serious about it I'd recommend investing in the #FLX1 by @furilabs
This is my review of the FLX1 phone from @FuriLabs. I've been using this phone for about 3 years as a daily driver. I am very happy with it! My banking app works, which is great, Android apps work very well in general. Plenty of settings and updates are monthly. There are glitches: flickering of the screen that I can't stop unless I remove the battery, that happens when I press power button twice; and artifacts being left back when uninstalling Android apps.
🐧 FuriLabs Convergence Hub turns smartphones into PC replacement with 8 ports
｢ FLX1 is a smartphone that relies on Linux instead of Android. In combination with the new Convergence Hub, this device can be turned into a Linux PC, but the docking station is also expected to be compatible with Android smartphones as long as they support external monitors via USB-C ｣
The Convergence Hub combines a flexible stand with a docking station that expands smartphones by a total of eight ports, including Ethernet and HDMI for connecting a monitor. This should allow the FuriPhone FLX1 to be transformed into a PC replacement.
@cryptica There's the #mechaComet over on kickstarter. It's not really designed as a phone-first device, but there's an option to have a built in lte modem. I'll bet someone will come along to create a software dialer for it.
best part is it's true linux, not some sort of frankenstein linux-ized android like the #flx1
I am using FLX1 (not FLX1s). It is a great phone, but uninstalling some android apps (from Aurora store) leaves artifacts that I can't get rid of. Also it is not fully open source. I do have to restart android container often enough for apps to work properly, RAM gets clogged up enough to see messages about os killing various processes. I also stil have screen flickering when power button pressed quickly twice. It is not a perfect phone - but it is my daily driver.

You install "Aurora Store" from "F-Droid". It lets you install non-open-source Android apps. Ones that you cannot live without and cannot "get" any other way.
Again, yes, the FLX1s can also run (many) Android apps.
This is where you would look last, if you cannot find what you want in "Software" or "F-Droid".

"F-Droid" also comes pre-installed. F-Droid lets you install open-source Android apps.
Yes, the FLX1s can also run (many) Android apps.
You would install Android apps if you cannot find a native version or alternative in "Software".
This is where you would look second, if you cannot find what you want in "Software".
