Linux phones aren't quite there yet, and one of the big problems from what I understand is simply that the hardware is locked down. Firmware and drivers aren't readily available, and so supporting handsets is just really hard.
How much money would be needed to build an open source linux phone from the ground up?
I don't know if they'd even be up for it but at this point I think the best option would be Framework getting into it as theyre already trusted by the community.
But even if we get the hardware down there's another issue - we need an open source, government approved, bank approved Wallet app. There's only Google or Apple wallet to store important documents on Mobile at the moment. Frustratingly, some governments are using only those two as a source for national verification which is obviously a problem.
