Hello, I am looking for the optimum phone to install Ubuntutouch on, and I particularly want optimum battery life and, of course, a great camera. Which phone would you recommend I am looking at Xiaomi Poco x3 or M3 otherwise they are big for me. I currently have a Pixel 6 and Grapheneos but I would like a Linux UT in the past I also had Xperia 10 and Sailfish os. What would you recommend for everyday use with a good camera?

It won't be much of help, but I have a few devices:

  • Xperia X which so far works well, except that it feels like the phone's internals are a bit too slow for today's standards, so even if I will use it for the time being, if I were yo,u I would pick something more powerful.
  • OnePlus 6 which would be very cool (especially that it's one of the best phones for regular 'mobile Linux' so far), if not for shutdown being bugged, which results in time getting reset on every boot. But it's fast enough, and I hope the bug will eventually get a fix.
  • last time I tried PPP was not good enough, but it's been ~2 months ago and support was quite fresh. Might need to check again.
