As I said before in another thread [0] This is the way to go, what we need are modular open standards for both hardware and software.

Imagine a phone that you can just swap and mix components from different manufacturers. You could buy the components yourself and assemble, like a standard PC. If one manufacturer tries to lock you in, or you don't like their component you simply replace them with others from a different manufacturer.

While I very much want what you describe (and it's why I still hope Framework eventually gets into the phone game), the software is a far far bigger problem than the hardware (and this is from someone who is _extremely_ disappointed in current phone hardware). I'd take free and open software over hardware at this point. Obviously both is better, but the software has a far bigger impact on our lives than the hardware.

Sailfish os is there if you want to pay, and definitely steam os is going there, they work on both porting android apps to steam (lepton) and emulating X86 apps to ARM (fex)
