I'm always surprised when I read articles about Linux phones that don't mention VoLTE support. Without it, phone calls will drop constantly as we tear down old cell infrastructure. In my experience I've only been able to find one phone that supports VoLTE in America. I get the impression that there's much more interest in Linux phones in Europe where VoLTE (or whatever it is over there) support seems much easier to achieve.
The Furi guys put an insane amount of work into getting their phone working on every network in America. They have a Telegram channel where you can talk with the developers themselves. They will SSH into YOUR phone and poke around if they can't figure out what's going on on their end. These people work like crazy to make the experience seamless.
Phone specs, UI, security support, etc are important but if I can't make calls on the thing I'll never even consider it.
