For those who don't want to click through:
PureOS is not compatible with Android or Windows smartphones. There are several reasons for this:These devices cannot work without proprietary parts that PureOS does not ship;
These devices will not work with the latest mainline kernel (system’s core) found in PureOS; they need older versions with proprietary parts;
Even if you have a device that does not fall under the previous issues, there is still a decent amount of work needed to make it possible to install and start on those devices
