This might be particularly useful in the US/Canada where the Pixel line is almost the only phone line that can be bootloader unlocked and where VoLTE is required essentially everywhere if you actually want to use your phone as a phone.

There's an Ubuntu Touch test image for the Pixel 5 with VoLTE if anyone has an old phone sitting around that they want to test with.

@A_norny_mousse @dpfoss Does this mean #Droidian would also likely work?

Askign because I heard the UT installer has an option to installer Drodian...

#UbuntuTouch

TIL:

Droidian (previously known as hybris-mobian) is a version of Mobian that runs on top of Android's variant of the Linux kernel and the Libhybris and Halium adaptation layer and works with devices that are supported by Ubuntu Touch. It can be installed using the UBports installer.
