Our advice: There's currently no cell phone on the market that's fully compatible with user freedom, given the presence of nonfree software in iOS and Android. There are promising projects like PinePhone and the Librem 5 that seek to run GNU/Linux on smartphone hardware, but even these aren't perfect. What makes matters worse is that all smartphones currently run a separate, nonfree OS commonly referred to as the "mobile baseband," which is responsible for most of the device's communications.

If you're at all able to, and if you find your hardware is compatible with it, we recommend pairing the Replicant distribution of Android with the F-Droid app repository. Replicant is the bottom line when it comes to mobile OSes that respect their user's freedom, and is a project fiscally sponsored by the FSF.
