    Note that - although people like to pretend otherwise for some reason - technically Android is a Linux based OS, so all Android devices are Linux devices. This is why apps such as Termux work.

    (As the proud owner of a PinePhone I would rather have it over an Android based device, though!)

      True. I think in a list of Linux Chromebook alternatives I included Android x86. Android is Linux.

    Wow, the Volla Phone seriously doesn’t deserve a place in a top 3 of “the best”. The Volla Phone is just another downstream using device, and the fact that you can order it with Ubuntu Touch doesn’t change that. You’re depending on Halium, which is just one big hack.

    The only phones worthy of being in such a list are the PinePhone and Librem 5, and probably some Android phones that got ported to mainline Linux. I can’t take anyone seriously that says the Volla Phone is “a good Linux smartphone”.
