@opensourceopenmind @davepolaschek @furilabs
I can't make it work with with FLX1 (not FLX1s). And I believe the issue is @FuriLabs choosing HDMI (Proprietary) over DisplayPort (Open Source). HDMI is NOT backwards compatible. FuriLabs don't provide info on the version of the HDMI port (I think it is 2.1). My monitor has two 2.0 version ports, which make it incompatible. I've tried different cables. Make sure your monitor can support this hub before purchasing.

I started working on my small-net browser / client again — named: SpaceMonkey.
I got a Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.
So, I made it so SpaceMonkey would work on my FLX1s Linux phone by turning it (SpaceMonkey) into a GNOME Phosh + Linux app.

An update on the wallet app I am creating for GNOME Phosh on Linux.
I am continuing to add support for Taler.
Here is what it currently looks like to add a Taler exchange.
(A Taler exchange is where you would get Taler coins from.)
(Some of the stuff in the screen will change. Such as the buttons at the bottom.)

For the balances, the app groups the balances by currency (because I think it makes more sense to more people that way).
If you tap on the currency balance, then it shows the breakdown per Taler exchange.

So far I have written a (mobile optimized) file manager app.
And, written a finger painting app for kids ages 3 to 5. (I have young children.)
....
There are other apps I plan to write, too.

I started writing apps for it.
That was actually one of the things I liked about it. Making app for it is a lot easier than Android or iOS.
Native Apps on the FLX1s are just GNOME + Linux apps.
I could also use whatever programming-language I wanted — I chose the Go programming-language (golang).

@fbinin I'd say it's worth flashing it just to get a sense of how the interface itself works and to experiment before actually buying a new device. (Also, there's a chance that someone will figure out the drivers for it later and then you can use it: my camera started working a bit only a few months after I'd set up #Mobian on my #PocoF1)
Long term, a secondhand Poco F1 would be good for a cheap option but if you're serious about it I'd recommend investing in the #FLX1 by @furilabs

This is my review of the FLX1 phone from @FuriLabs. I've been using this phone for about 3 years as a daily driver. I am very happy with it! My banking app works, which is great, Android apps work very well in general. Plenty of settings and updates are monthly. There are glitches: flickering of the screen that I can't stop unless I remove the battery, that happens when I press power button twice; and artifacts being left back when uninstalling Android apps.

🐧 FuriLabs Convergence Hub turns smartphones into PC replacement with 8 ports
｢ FLX1 is a smartphone that relies on Linux instead of Android. In combination with the new Convergence Hub, this device can be turned into a Linux PC, but the docking station is also expected to be compatible with Android smartphones as long as they support external monitors via USB-C ｣

@cryptica There's the #mechaComet over on kickstarter. It's not really designed as a phone-first device, but there's an option to have a built in lte modem. I'll bet someone will come along to create a software dialer for it.
best part is it's true linux, not some sort of frankenstein linux-ized android like the #flx1

I am using FLX1 (not FLX1s). It is a great phone, but uninstalling some android apps (from Aurora store) leaves artifacts that I can't get rid of. Also it is not fully open source. I do have to restart android container often enough for apps to work properly, RAM gets clogged up enough to see messages about os killing various processes. I also stil have screen flickering when power button pressed quickly twice. It is not a perfect phone - but it is my daily driver.

You install "Aurora Store" from "F-Droid". It lets you install non-open-source Android apps. Ones that you cannot live without and cannot "get" any other way.
Again, yes, the FLX1s can also run (many) Android apps.
This is where you would look last, if you cannot find what you want in "Software" or "F-Droid".

You would install Android apps if you cannot find a native version or alternative in "Software".

"Software" comes pre-installed. It lets you install native Linux apps.
This is where you would look first for any app, or app type, that you want or need.

Somewhat recently I switched to using the FLX1s Linux phone (from an Android phone).
The FLX1s is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.
One thing that I find makes using it better is — having these 3 app stores installed:
• Software
• F-Droid
• Aurora Store -

I switched my phone somewhat recently — from an Android phone to a FLX1s Linux Phone.
I am an early adopter — so there are some rough areas, but —
I am largely happy with the phone.
Especially given that it is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.One nice thing though — for the apps where there is no Linux alternative, you can run (some) Android apps on it.

I visited the FuriLabs booth at FOSDEM 2026.
...
I showed them my FuriLabs FLX1s phone 🙂
...
I actually caused an issue with my FLX1s. @fakeshell on the @furilabs team fixed it!
Thank you @fakeshell !!

Awesome!
Loops may be available for and usable on the FLX1s Linux phone soon.
(The FLX1s is a non-Android (Linux) phone that can run some Android apps.)

I wanted to connect a keyboard to my FLX1s Linux phone.
I first tried connecting a USB keyboard to it — but, I couldn't get it to work.
Others on the Furilabs Matrix / Telegram room suggested using a Bluetooth keyboard.
So, I purchased an inexpensive (CAD $13) Bluetooth key, and — it worked! 🙂
