Now the team says it’s stable enough to release as an official update for a handful of supported devices:
Fairphone 4
Google Pixel 3a
Vollaphone
Vollaphone X
Vollaphone 22
Builds for the PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, and PineTab are also in the works… but since these devices are designed to run a mainline Linux kernel, they’re not part of the OTA update schedule that applies to most Ubuntu Touch-compatible devices.
So far, there are builds of Ubuntu Touch Focal Fossa for the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro, but there’s currently no support for auto-rotate, camera or flashlight capabilities, GPS, or OTA updates. And the PinePhone modem is said to be unstable.
While Ubuntu 20.04 is a few years old at this point, it’s an operating system that will be officially supported at least until 2027.
In addition to the updated base operating system, OTA-1 Focal also brings a number of other improvements, including backported versions of the Ubuntu 22.04 Network Manager and Bluetooth stack and updates and improvements for a number of apps.
