I want to be excited about it, but we'll really need more details apart from Qualcomm allowing it to exist (they're... problematic with long-term support https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/the-fairphone-2-hits-five-years-of-updates-with-some-help-from-lineageos/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/the-fairphone-2-hits... ) and performance being "great, just look at this object detection". They had the opportunities to drop a number from any benchmark they want... and they didn't. That's worrying.

In this case, Linaro has mostly been getting everything running with mainline kernel (and upstreaming their work): https://www.linaro.org/blog/qualcomm-and-linaro-enable-latest-flagship-snapdragon-compute-soc/ https://www.linaro.org/blog/qualcomm-and-linaro-enable-lates... . So things are looking a lot better than the usual Android ecosystem imo.
