PInephone! A bit of work, requiring to not being shy opening the hood of a linux system. but totally worth it, the reward is freedom and its continuous cycle of collective learning...
(although the Pinephone is not really a "smartphone" in the sense most people use that word: a restricted computer that allows to run wallgarden applications.... a pinephone doesnt natively run "smartphone apps" and is more like a full-blown, general purpose computer running GNU/linux that also contains a modem enabling calls, sms and data...)
Pinephone hasn't quite reached daily driver status... And don't get me started on the PPP.
I have been daily-driving one for more than three years now, and totally happy with it. (with some caveats, some work and nerve-wracking moments, but that's the exciting lot of the continous learning of free/libre computing...)
I guess that's the point, really...a lot of people wouldn't consider those caveats to be...prime for daily driver status.
sure. but you and OP are maybe not "a lot of people" anyways ;)
