Re:Acer disables BIOS for laptops sold through Amazon? (2020) by salamandersauce on Thursday July 01, 2021 @06:31PM (#27705692)
I've had a lot of weird out there smartphones, webOS, BB10 and Windows Phone 7/8. GNU/Linux phones just don't even seem close to being ready with basic phone features not working well from what I've read. If I could get one that worked reliably, lasted at least a day on battery and had some sort of NFC payment method I would.

Probably depends on your usage pattern. Pinephone works quite reliably for me.
