As mentioned in the README, the Pinephone doesn't rely on the Android kernel/halium like every other UT device does. That's probably the most profound reason why the Pinephone is 'so special' compared to other devices running UT.

@Korac 
Would it be possible to install a pure linux kernel and a linux OS (UT, etc) on an android device? I mean, if Android kernel comes from Linux, probably it means the hardware is not that different. So, why not develop a linux kernel for Android phones? Why the need for the android kernel? only because is already there?
