USB Type C
Quad DAC
Headphone Jack

One Phone To Rule Them ALL!

https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/

This phone just has to happen guys, The world will become a better place. I am thinking I ordering a second one.

Please guys please, it will be the only phone in world who’s baseband is sperate from the cpu/memory (like it should have been from the first fucking phone ever made).

I am not including the DIY raspberry pi phones and pads because if anyone sees you with one of those things they will call homeland security.

I’m actually right there with you @sycpuppy

-Overall Height/width of an iPhone 7/8, but with a borderless display like the X
-Horizontal slider with QWERTY Keyboard that has all needed keys for linux
-Have the slider also act to tilt up the phone up to act as a stand
-Linux/open bootloader to install whatever the hell I want
-x86 CPU???
-micro SD
-socketed chipset???
-socketed memory???
-USB C 3.1
-Large (3500mah+) removable battery, or an easily serviceable one
-NO ALUMINUM!!! Steel is real! (or titanium)
-3.5 mm headphone jack (it’s sad I have to put this)
-Physical Airplane mode switch
-Silence switch (like on iPhone/OnePlus 3t)
-Easily repairable like the OnePlus 3t

My dream phones? A phone I can use with an inexpensive phone service. That is all I ask. MagicJack and similar are what I am talking about. A phone is a need in life and thus should be at least very inexpensive or well honestly free. Die commerce die.

If it can double as a blackjack… that’s what I call winning

A phone with the most current/fastest hardware, a great screen, and great durability. And no matter what you are doing with it, I want it to last 12 straight hours without recharging it.

I don’t want wireless charging, I don’t want facial recognition, I don’t want the slimmest phone in the market, and I don’t want any other gimmicks.

I JUST WANT A PHONE THAT LASTS ALL DAY.
Why is that so difficult?

Sad that this is something you have to list now

I own my dream phone now. An LG V20. 60FPS 4K dual cameras with one having a real physical zoom for micro. Removable back with 28 hour battery. Fuckin great.

a Pwnie express pwn phone 2

My old Samsung Note 2.

Just with 2 USB ports. One for charging while I use a mechanical or controller or something in the second.
Oh wait, front facing stereo speakers, yeah those are good, gotten to like them on the HTC one I am using right now.

That was pretty much my perfect phone. Getting it fixed so will be up and running again soon. Good times.

5.5inch screen amoled
720p
3200mAh battery
8 core CPU
Mali 400 gpu
NFC
Wireless charging
Built in stylus
FM radio
Great custom support

Blackberry lasts for several days. Mine does about 5 or 4.

  1. My dream phone has to have fully open-source software and firmware running on it. Including radio and GPS.

  2. OS that can be continually updated like GNU/Linux.

  3. Physical keyboard.

  4. SIM slot which does not have to be operated by a fucking needle.

  5. Removable battery that lasts for 7 days.

  6. HW kill switch for microphone and camera.

  7. Bonus - Eccentric design like the Sharp SH-06D NERV edition.

Tried Plasma Mobile on my Nexus 5x not sold. AOSP with FDroid is still a better experience tbh.

Will be watching the project though out of curiosity.

No.

Also

I want at least 12 hours of “screen on” time, not “standby” time. No modern phone with a 5 to 6 inch screen will do that. At least my OnePlus 3 has fast charging, so having to stop and charge it isn’t that big of a deal.

uuuuhhhh nope. I edited my original post highlighting the main problem with all smartphones.
