I am trying out a Oneplus 6 on Mobian, and I got 29 hours of battery life on idle, and it is looking to be around 15 hours with light usage.

With a Librem 5, its 12ish hours on idle, 20 hours on suspend, and 4-5 hours light usage.

do they make phone calls? can they tether 5G?

If so, I might be able invert my plan: use the Linux phone with phone/5G/useful software most of the time, and a cheap android phone in my bag that only comes out for things that need the monopoly apps and tethers to the useful one occasionally when necessary.

  • Both of those phones support LTE only. Both make/receive phone calls, but the Librem 5 is more stable on that front.

    The Fairphone 4/5 supports 5G, but I don't know how stable they are on pmOS/Mobian

    • any suggestions on how you would call somebody on an iPhone over 5G or WiFi instead of a proper phone call on these? currently use WhatsApp.
