Yeah last Linux phone that I bought was a scam. I’m not buying another until it’s from a reputable business.

I bought the pro1x and it never came in.

I really want a Linux phone that isn’t neutered, but I also don’t want it to be $2k+ Lol. If the librem 5 is anything to go by (at $800 with pretty outdated specs) I’m bracing for 2k

I do not see much added value in a hacky phone, which does not use an open source processor. Only RISCV and a fully open source OS and bootloader will add enough value to compensate the massive convenience loss of not simply using GrapheneOS.

Rochchip is a great Pi alternative but the node they use is far less efficient than Qualcomm. So not a great phone chip.
