It is high noon that a mobile phone on which we can install any linux flavour, with a nice debian netinstall like interface, is developed. An os where we can run apt-get and dpkg list on the cli to see what is installed and what it does. Something not android and ideally not a brick, and compatible with arm cpus, can make calls and can do 4/5g. From there on we can develop and use open source apps that we know EXACTLY whom they leak information to.
