    Not exactly that but Jolla might be interesting for you. I had the first edition of the device in 2014 and I loved it.

    Thry finally released a second gen hardware last year I think.

    I was just checking that yesterday, and there was the opportunity to have something equivalent to a "steam phone" with https://liberux.net/#specs , but the indiegogo failed.

    One that is actually sold is the Furiphone , which is under finalization of software update., and has chroot for Android apps with Waydroid. check the links ! 😊

    Not quite. FSF (Free Software Foundation) announced the Librephone project. Its goal is to work towards having phone hardware with open firmware. They are still in the phase of finding out what that entails.

    They are not making a phone. It's more a campaign of nudging other manufacturers in that direction.
