PinePhone… it runs linux, open source hardware… even has physical switches for microphone and camera and such, and a removable battery…
Android and iOS are designed to spy on you.

I mean if you’re going for a Linux phone, even if you buy the pro model, the OnePlus 6t is a better Linux phone. One of the only platforms that gets hardware acceleration running Linux. Pinephine is cool from a repairability standpoint, but is an objectively weak and kinda shitty phone with a weak processor, bad screen, and other such problems like that. But getting a good but old Android phone and running Linux on it is the move.

OnePlus 6t being pretty much unbrickable is also a great reason to use it for any odd software over the Pinephone. While they are standard Qualcomm chip features, OnePlus doesn’t disable them out of the factory. Plus, the dual partitioning for OSes/updates makes it so that it’s possible to have both.

Pinephone is badass ideologically, but cannot compete with any flagship from the past 6-7 years.

Loved my realme phone, but can’t get burger land calls to work. Maybe the newer models will but just be careful OP.
