# Volla Phone
Volla Phone, A new startup focused on simplicity and privacy for the average user. It's a solid mid-range device with eight-core, produced by Gigaset. This device falls nicely in the hands, and it has an outstanding screen/body ratio. On the other hand, it has slight incompatibility with the UT navigation bar. But, overall, it is working very smoothly and relatively responsive. 

**Usability**:
Boot and runs well, vital features work well, and can be performed as a portable version of Ubuntu Touch, recommended for advanced users.

**Statues:**
Continue to get better



# BQ Aquaris M10
The first Ubuntu tablet and the first to offer desktop-mobile convergence, the rear camera shoots surprisingly good stills, particularly HDR mode. A quad-core powers the M10, 64-bit MediaTek MT8163 SoC clocked at 1.3GHz in the HD model and 1.5GHz in the FHD model reviewed here. The GPU is a Mali-T720 MP2, clocked up to 520MHz (HD) and 600MHz (FHD). Both models have 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 64GB by plugging a card into the external MicroSD slot. 

**Usability**:
Performed as a daily driver.


**Statues:**
Work complete.

# OnePlus
The OnePlus One has been one of the most iconic smartphones of 2014. The specs are certainly enough to with a 5.5" 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 SoC, and good battery life. Admittedly, this is a bit of a leap from Android or Apple for a new user, but the phone flows once you get a feel for it. Keep in mind that Anabox will never work because of its old Kernel)

**Usability**:
Performed as a daily driver.

**Statues:**
Currently stalled.

# Google Pixel 3a
The Pixel 3a is available in Black, Clearly White, and Purple-ish. Armed with a Snapdragon 670 processor and 4GB of RAM, it has a good price for a Linux phone. What else? An adequate battery capacity of 3,000 mAh, vivid 5.6-inch OLED display, Type-C USB, headphone jack, and good camera quality.

**Usability**:
Performed as a daily driver.

**Statues:**
Work complete.

# Meizu MX4
Meizu MX4 was a device for early adopters, and it is still delivers considerably nice computing power; it runs on a Meizu-customised octa-core MediaTek MT6595 SoC with four ARM Cortex-A17 and four ARM Cortex-A7 cores, with a PowerVR G6200 GPU to handle the graphics, all supported by 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, it has a 5.36-inch (diagonal) display with a resolution of 1,920 by 1,152 pixels, giving a pixel density of 418ppi. 

# Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro

# Xiaomi Mi MIX 3

# Google Nexus 5

# Fairphone 2

# Fairphone 3
The Fairphone 3 in combination with Ubuntu Touch is currently the best option, if you value sustainability, fair trade materials, repairability and independency from Google and Android operating systems.
With its Snapdragon octa-core chip it delivers a solid performance all around. The 18:9 IPS display with a pixel-density of 427ppi has great viewing angles and shows no color shifts regardless of the viewing angle.
Sadly you will notice some tearing on fast UI changes or maybe some games, which should not bother you, if you are not a gamer.
Additionaly Ubuntu Touch for the Fairphone 3 is already prepared to run the new Waydroid container (when it is ready), which lets you run the Android applications, which you otherwise can't live without.

**Statues:**
Performed as a daily driver.
