came across an announcement of a new phone launching that "officially supports" Linux called the "Brax Wink" but sadly seems like its being made by people who are not actually capable of delivering what they are promising

not too much about the company other then this thread from graphene

@liaizon Ughhhh.
I really want things like these to be, well, real. They are barely ever real. Quick glance at Brax Wink landing immediately suggests it's not real at all.
I suppose Fairphone 5 and Furilabs' FLX1S+ are promising steps in the right direction (still can't get my hands on any of those tho), meanwhile we need "Linux phone problem" solved, like, "I'm going to randomly install Arch" level of solved, "just use Proton to play games" level of solved. The deadlines are looming, and we're not exactly close to meeting them.

@lnkr I was excited briefly after randomly coming across the video but then quickly got the vibe that these people are not serious

@lnkr this project actually looks like it will come to fruition tho https://mecha.so/comet
