The concluding weeks of 2025 are filled with new Linux smartphone launches. We first got the Murena Fairphone (Gen. 6) that landed with /e/OS 3.0 and five years of support. Then more recently, we heard of the Jolla Phone making a return and a new project that has features we don't usually see on most phones.
Going into 2026, I am convinced that Linux-powered smartphones will be a big thing as more and more people become fed up with the direction mainstream technology is going towards.
Writing this, I now realize I should have added this to our 2026 Linux and Open Source predictions article, lol.
Anyhow, another newish Linux smartphone has been launched by FuriLabs under their new enterprise-focused Void Phone sub-brand.
Void Phone VX1: An Enterprise-Ready Phone
The Void Phone VX1 is a rebadged FuriLabs FLX1s. It packs a MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset with Mali-G68 MC4 graphics, 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 128 GB of UFS storage.
The device runs the Debian-based FuriOS, which supports multi-boot, Android app compatibility, and KVM virtualization.
What makes it enterprise-ready are the mobile device management (MDM) features. We are talking device tracking, remote wipes, app whitelists, geofencing, custom app repos, and configurable security policies. Though, these MDM services cost $2.50 per phone per month.
Should they choose to, organizations can also take advantage of white-label customization with great control over what kind of software and hardware a batch of devices is shipped with.
As I mentioned earlier, the Void Phone VX1 is the same as the FuriLabs FLX1s but with different branding and focus, so the specifications are the same:
- Display: 6.7" 1600x720 @90 Hz (protected by AGC Dragontrail Glass)
- Camera: 20 MP and a 2 MP macro on the rear and a 13 MP front.
- Battery: 5,000 mAh Li-Po
- Network Connectivity: 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G (dual-sim).
- Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
- Bluetooth: 5.2, A2DP, LE.
- USB: Type-C 2.0 (audio, data transfer, and power)
- Build: Glass back, polycarbonate mid-frame, metal buttons.
Order Your Void Phone VX1
If you are an organization interested in this device, then you will have to get in touch with Void Phone for getting your order placed. The MDM features are available for companies ordering 100 or more units.
