What are 'replicant' and /e/?

[saba]

Thanks for the answer

So, Replicant and /e/ are thought to de-google Android phones.  So, even they could potentially run on PinePhone, it sounds non-sense. They were build to run on android phones without the spy apps from google. So, why make it for a clean empty hardware as PP? Only because it can be done?? Defeats their goal.

Clear now.

thanks!

Defeats whose goal?  AOSP, which both Replicant and /e/ are based is an open source phone operating system, just like all of the others here.  I'm sure some pinephone owners will be interested in it.
