What do you mean by a "Linux phone"?
If you just mean a phone that can run a more traditional Linux distribution, you could look into Postmarket OS. There's a list of supported devices here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
- megous 5y agoOne definition may be a phone that you can run current mainline Linux on (5.16-rc2) without much trouble or loss in functionality. Maybe with some patches on top to enable more functionality, but easily rebaseable, unlike some abandoned 3-6 years old kernel with milions of lines of changes that you have no way of rebasing on top of the latest Linux release, to be able to enjoy all the latest Linux kernel advancements. More strict definition would be that you can just boot Arch Linux ARM on it or other ARM distro out of the box, and all HW will be accessible and usable. Otherwise Linux phone is any old Android, because all of them run some hacked up version of Linux. :)
