Why a Linux phone
There is steady progress.
The world of Linux phones is growing.
Hardware will improve.
As more people demand open-hardware, or manufacturers support mainstream Linux (instead of only Android), things will get better.
Software (drivers, UIs, mobile optimisations) will catch up.
Many desktop Linux applications assume a keyboard+mouse, etc; mobile UI/UX is still being optimized.
If we are considering buying a smartphone that runs a full Linux (or near-Linux) mobile OS Volla Systems is a good choice here.
-----------------------------------
Volla Phone (Ubuntu Touch)
Comes pre-installed with Ubuntu Touch.
More phone-like in spec compared to the more niche Linux phones.
For example: Volla Phone 22 variant: 6.3″ display, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB storage.
Volla provides a relatively more mainstream Linux phone experience.
Unlike the Linux phone from scratch stuff, we are dealing with hardware design/OEM and official ports of Linux.
So driver support is superior.
Feature completeness is superior.
For example on Volla devices the touchscreen, camera and modem actually work.
If we hit limitations with the amount of software available on Ubuntu Touch right now, the phone is capable of booting back into proper functioning Android for a trouble free daily driver usage.
This is something very important to consider here.
Linux on the mobile phone may not be as great as we wish it to be in 2025.
Volla systems offers Android side by side with Linux.
Volla offers a more ready for use feel with their products.
It may be too early to commit to a Linux-only phone.
