No companies doing that ?
- d3Xt3r 2y agoWe have a bunch of decent-spec native Linux options these days, such as the FuriPhone FLX1 (Debian), Volla Quintus (Ubuntu Touch), Jolla C2 (SailfishOS) etc. All of them also have an optional/opt-in Android compatibility layer, which makes them a lot more practical. The first two phones also have a dual-boot option if the compatibility layer isn't enough, and the third one (Jolla C2) is exactly what you asked for - it's a rebadged Reeder S19 MAX PRO S, so if you can't buy the C2 where you live, you could try getting a Reeder and flashing it yourself, or alternatively buy one of the supported Sony Xperia phones. In any case, there are far better options these days than the Pinephone and Librem.
