I’m looking for opinions from people about their personal preferences on the best Linux phones available today — both software and the phone hardware to accompany it.

My leading contenders right now are postmarketos running on a used Pixel or sailfishos running on jolla or Sony Xperia.

My priorities:

  • commitment to FOSS, no lock-in
  • Premium-tier phone hardware (camera, screen, battery)
  • performant Android emulation or performant web app integration
  • ongoing organization or community support
  • few/no dependencies on American companies or products

Subjective and biased opinions are welcome; I’m really trying to get a feel of how the earliest adopters are thinking.
