| GNU/Linux phones already exist. See: Librem 5 and Pinephone. |

| I find it really off putting, how weak is their hardware, compared to a normal Android phone in a similar price range. |

| ▲ | fsflover 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Weak hardware can work quite well with optimized and non-bloated software (which doesn't constantly phone home). For example, maps and Youtube work smoothly on Pinephone with SXMo. See also: https://puri.sm/posts/the-danger-of-focusing-on-specs/. | | |
| ▲ | vova_hn2 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I hope so, but I just don't understand what exactly causes such massive price difference. Is it because this kind of phones are a very niche product so they can't benefit from the economy of scale? Maybe android phone manufacturers can get better deals from chip manufacturers because they buy chips in large quantities? | | |

| If you like privacy without security then yeah . |
