I dont even need a legitimate secure phone. All i want is a phone where i can install debian or any linux flavour, just like on a regular pc or a raspberry pi. There are too few options that allow for it and are quite low spec. Once we gain such freedom then we can get the security we want the way we want - not security as defined and controlled by a third party.

The pinephone looks very promising though softwarewise is not there yet, it keeps on inproving quickly.

That'd definitely be an improvement, but you still have backdoors on your CPU brought to you by Intel(tm).

The only closed (and staying closed) part of the PinePhone is the FCC regulated part of the modem.
If someone wanted to make a modem with no binary blobs we could have fully Open hardware in toto.
There's the opportunity to make Linux programs scalable to small screens right now; that's a big part of the dev time currently.
