Have you considered Pinephone then?

Never heard of that before. A quick search doesn't reveal sufficient documentation to form an opinion. Do you have better resources? Can't find it for sale in the online shops I usually use (Germany), either.

I have one. It's slow but the feeling of owning your hardware is well worth it. Also good software can make it fast, see SXMo.

    Your first link, I had found myself, but it doesn't say a lot. Your second link 404s. https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-beta-edition-with-convergence-package/ https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-beta-edition-with-conve... Looks like it's still in beta: > Beta Edition PinePhones are aimed solely at early adopters. More specifically, only intend for these units to find their way into the hands of users with extensive Linux experience. Also, if you include taxes it's not sub $200. My current phone was about $160 including taxes when I bought it. Looks interesting, though.

Isn't the Pinephone getting super old now? And it was already very slow when it was released...

  Yes, but it depends on what you want to do with it. HN is still fast enough on it with Firefox, the terminal works well, too. Good DEs like https://sxmo.org/ https://sxmo.org/ are snappy.
