Stallman complained about surveillance by mobile phone. No phone that is actually usable as a phone (i.e. connects to the phone network) can be surveillance-free. The SIM card that requires remote downloadable and executable code to run on the phone is a non-removable surveillance risk of any mobile phone. If you separate the phone part form the tablet part, then the phone will need 2 CPUs with 2 OSs and double the power use, double the battery, almost double the size. Then, there is automated surveillance from the cell towers and data nodes (MITM, listening, speech recognition, auto-transcription, keyword analysis, etc.).
