Re: What Linux-based phone should I get?

I used to think that I would not need a phone, laptop AND tablet. Until 
I realised the different screen sizes and degrees of portability 
provided plenty of flexibility depending on the circumstances. I learn7t 
of various apps for different situations, be that at home on my wifi 
network, work, or travelling.  Largest screen size you can tolerate on a 
phone increases its usability.

I have a 5" phone, 10" tablet and (unsure size) laptop, love them and 
make frequent use of them all.

Sure, battery life is different from past generation phones, it is not 
onerous to put on a charger each night, get a spare battery or have a 
charger in your car.

Roger
