Been using it as my daily driver for two weeks.
Battery life is not great but manageable. I bought two spare batteries as backups. I charge the phone at home, and put it into suspend when I’m on the go.
Battery life may even improve as software and drivers mature.
Build quality is very decent. Hardware performance is barely enough for web browsing. But you get used to it quickly.
- mattl 3y agoWhat does putting into suspend look like? Is that just you'd do on a normal smartphone by locking the screen? How fast does it come back from suspend? Sad to hear it's not performant at all. Have you looked at Pinephone?
- Hackbraten 3y ago> What does putting into suspend look like? Two ways to trigger it: timed (via Settings) and ad-hoc (via a software button in a separate Mobile Settings app). When suspend is triggered, the screen turns off. (You can tell it’s suspend because the phone cools down considerably after a while.) Calls and SMS will wake it up but other events won’t. Waking up with the side button is instant, but it takes a few seconds until wifi and mobile data come up again.
- weikju 3y agoSuspend button is now available in the power menu (top right on the drop down overlay), after being enabled from Mobile Settings
- Hackbraten 3y agoThanks, I completely overlooked that button.
- seba_dos1 3y agoMobile data comes back up pretty much instantly, it's just WiFi that takes some time. For the record, WiFi connects back very fast after switching NetworkManager to (experimental) iwd backend instead of wpa_supplicant, but it breaks WiFi-based location because Geoclue only knows how to talk to wpa_supplicant.
