    Intriguing! I’m concerned about the “advanced power management algorithms” they’re putting up front and center without clarifying. My current phone (OnePlus) is very aggressive about that and just kills my alarm clock in the middle of the night once in a while and breaks other apps, even with optimizations disabled and the phone plugged in. Furiphone isn’t listed on DontKillMyApp and I didn’t see anything with a quick search, have you heard anything about how it does on that?

    Also that size, oof. Mine is already too big and this is noticeably bigger in all 3 dimensions.

      Ooof; yeah: that’d be a dealbreaker for me, too. I’ve got a OnePlus, as well (Nord N20), and, while I can definitely tell there’s some battery optimization going on, it’s never killed my alarms; it’s the only alarm clock I use so somewhat vital.

      Unfortunately, I haven’t heard anything (yet). Most of anything I’ve heard about them has been from “static” sources (like the above); I don’t hang out in any chatrooms or the like they may have. I do know they have an account on the Fediverse, though (@furilabs@fosstodon.org), so you may be able to ask them directly?

        Nice, thanks for the tip.

        Unfortunately I think the size might be the deal breaker though, just remembered how my current one literally only fits in my pocket if I rotate it in at the exact right angle. 8 extra mm in both directions and there’s no hope.

        I’m not ready for pants shopping again already, taking these ones in took 10 hours T_T

      I have a Ulefone, which is too small of a brand for there to be much specific guidance on how to counter some of the unwelcome power management stuff
