    That’s sad, I want a phone that runs real Linux but the options I found are either outdated hardware or alpha quality.

        This! Exactly this! But I guess all the off the shelf parts need proprietary driver which only are available for android. No parts manufacturers will do the extra work to make them work for Linux. Only of explicit ordered that way, but then it is custom and expensive. I fear, not many will buy an expensive midrange phone, with all the trade-off linux has for most people.

          They just don’t want to. Now they can stop releasing security patches and users would buy new hardware.
