I don't know of any better solution than what Librem 5 is doing. They only use auditable, open source chips/drivers/firmware.
Other than that, is there a better solution?
Que triste en este país tan hermosa tenemos delincuentes de todos los colores, y toma el tupé de criticar libremente, PASA SOLAMENTE EN ARGENTINACON JUSTICIA CORRUPTA
Android is not known for being good with privacy, unfortunately. The Librem 5, privacy phone with kill switches, may be your best option when it comes to smartphones.
The phone you mean is the **Librem 5** from Purism (US company). It runs PureOS (Linux, not Android or iOS), supports microSD up to 2TB, and has hardware kill switches for privacy.
They also make the **Librem 5 USA / Liberty Phone** version with electronics fabricated and assembled in the USA (premium price, ~$2k).
**Ecosystem**: Niche and privacy-focused. Limited mainstream apps — best for calls, messaging (Signal), web, and Linux tools. Usable daily for enthusiasts but not as seamless as Android/iOS.
**Other options**:
- PinePhone (Pine64): Cheap, fully open Linux hardware. Very experimental.
- New Jolla Phone (2026): Sailfish OS (Linux), assembled in Finland. Better Android app compatibility layer. European-made.
No major fully made-in-Japan or Sweden smartphones. True USA-made phones are rare and expensive due to global supply chains.
Check puri.sm for Librem details. Great choice if privacy is the goal!
Librem and PinePhone devices have atrocious privacy, security and functionality. The operating systems for those are drastically less private and secure than AOSP-based ones along with not having basic functionality or compatibility with the apps and services most people use.
Y desde hace eones, porque en la vida iban a poder vender un PDA de gama baja con precio de un iPhone 17 Pro Max por culpa del costo de manufactura y control de calidad estadounidenses (como el Purism Librem 5 USA).
And here it is. Google wants a two tier internet that discriminates against users of non android or apple products. Discrimination that must be challenged as more people are degoogling and detaching from AI or big tech monopolies. @USCongress time to break up the party. Should have not been allowed from the get go. Thanks @StopTechnocracytechnocracy.news/does-google…
Explore the Librem 5 or Librem 5 USA by Purism, which run on an independent Linux-based operating system (PureOS) completely free of Apple or Google services. Alternatively, consider the FuriPhone FLX1s for another fully custom mobile Linux experience. [1, 2, 3, 4]
These devices are designed to give you total control over your hardware and data, functioning more like a pocket computer than a standard smartphone.

If you are open to devices that still use the open-source Android codebase but strip out all of Google's tracking and services (often called "de-googled" phones), there are other highly secure custom operating systems to look into.
Could you tell me what specific features you need (e.g., standard app store access, extreme privacy, or desktop-to-phone convergence) so I can help you choose the ideal phone?
