If you don't need to use it as a reliable phone, accept that some things won't work properly yet, and would like to use it to learn more about linux, then it might be for you.

Don't worry about the 'version' - just get the latest when you want it as it will have the most recent hardware fixes. You can install any of the OS flavours on any hardware version, and the factory firmware will be out of date by the time the phone arrives. The 'versions' haven't repeated yet, but might do when they've gone through all the available phone distros. If you want to support one in particular then you can make a donation.

Someone might eventually get Whatsapp working in Anbox or similar, but so far as I know it hasn't happened yet. People have managed to install it, but it won't run properly.


ok thanks for your input, it helps me
