When my Graphene'd Pixel 7 goes out of support I'm switching to something Linux based even if I have to get a Raspberry Pi and a case and carry around a brick. My handbag's big enough.
I found this. Its a Raspberry Pi in a brick case with a screen and a 4G modem.
Kinda funny that for all the downsides, the one that made me say oof was resistive touch.
Resistive pretty much requires a stylus to be usable with any accuracy. It's like going back to '90s era PDAs.
I REALLY wanted to do a pi phone, and while it's very possible to make a working phone/tablet out of one, their power consumption is absolutely awful. Most of the linux capable SBC's can't do low power.
I want an 8" linux touch screen with 18h of moderate usage batter life, I'm even willing to carry around a separate 4g access point.
Furi's FLX1s seems like a valid alternative.
CM5s have 16GB of ram, some people might be building a postmarket os port for it too. Just need someone to design phone hardware for it.
