Of the $200 phones that run mainline linux kernels pinephone is the only one I know of. Cheap and BLOB free is the goal here not performance. There are no phones in pinephones "class". The closest is Librem5 but it's $800. The other "linux phone" projects are building proprietary OS walled gardens.
Fully open hardware! Fully open software! That's what is going on here
You can replace the open firmware IC's with Mystery BLOB IC's but what's the point?
