    Why it's cool: While we're still waiting to get our hands on one, this -device looks promising. We're giving it a tentative recommendation -because the company has publicly committed to doing the right things - for prioritizing user freedom and privacy, and because we have - evaluated and endorsed the operating system it will run.

    -

    Considering -that many people around the world use a mobile phone as their only -Internet-enabled device, it's important to have confidence that your -mobile phone isn't "listening in" on you to make more money for -advertisers.

    (Like many companies, Purism has made financial contributions to the FSF's work, but that is not a consideration when deciding what products we list in this Guide.)

    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 PINE64 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.
