Some time ago I ordered a couple of Linux development handhelds that should be arriving late 2026 or early 2027. The tiny Cardputer Zero from M5Stack and a proper handheld the, interesting looking, Mecha Comet.
Given "enshittification", high prices etc I don't see myself ever buying a "proper" phone again. For me the future seems to be leading to a cheap "slop" phone (only for banks, govt ID etc) and a linux-based handheld reserved for my stuff only. Hopefully PostmarketOS on my OnePlus 6 will also be daily drivable by then, but if not, just maybe the Mecha Comet will fit the bill
