But how much software is ARM compatible though? Since Android is also free and open source (Google apps are closed and has closed aspects), I donβt see Linux phone ever being cheaper than they would otherwise be running Android. A 200-400$ Android phone today is basically a year or two old or just garbage.
Honestly, I disagree about cheap android phones being shite. I have a redmi note 10 pro and it genuinly is a very impressive phone especially for the money. I bought it new when it came out and it wasn't expensive at all.
