I installed Ubuntu Touch on my phone in 2026 and used it as my main daily phone to see if a Linux phone is finally ready.In this video, I test Ubuntu Touch i...
Firstly you most likely just cannot. Device support is very narrow.
But I have a phone I got secondhand just to play with it. I want to love it, but it feels dated. The gestures make using a lot of stuff hard. But the biggest thing is that in my country I can’t even make calls due to no VoLTE support. Kinda kills even using it daily even as an experiment.

Is that the reason? Skimming through dev blogs I had hoped the new ofono supported Mediately and Snapdragon VoLTE.
Yes, like I said, there is a need to do SoC vendor specific implementations.
