The closer you look the more Purism Librem 5 is unique in a positive way.
Freedom and responsible development / design / people are not so easy to replace. Why I wait for my Librem 5 almost patiently.
Maybe here you get the phone you considered as a substitute
or
you have a look at an even more interesting way named
Volla Phone
promising free and open source software.
Ubuntu Touch and a completely de-Googled Android with alternative handling. Not cheap, not bad.
Open hardware is available from one supplier … Purism (Librem 5)
you may have heard of the giants shoulders we lay our phones on … Librem 5 is a hands on means to reduce spying on me and taking control over my privacy. Richard Stallman is one of these giants and I say Thank you Richard and the team of Purism to take care for my fate in a positive way. Not less.
Purism (Librem 5)
looks like I look forward to it
