The Pine Phone has always been recommended for developers and people who are more interested in a project rather than in a phone that they can use for their daily driver. I'm a big fan of Pine64 and have several of their products (but not a Pine phone) but they are for hobbists and people who want to put work back into the community. Do not buy a Pine phone thinking "Oh Boy Linux on my phone, the future is finally here!!!"

To be clear there are people that have made the Pine phone their daily driver. But for every one of those there are a dozen who have tossed theirs at a wall in frustration.

If you really want to be free of Google get Pixel and install GrapheneOS. The irony of course being that Google makes the Pixel.

If I could make phone calls and send/receive texts on a Linux netbook, I would be so happy.
