I'm keeping an eye on Linux phones, and especially on the RK3588S SoC and the upcoming RK3668.

As you might know, I've been sounding the alarm about the "end of Android" for a while now. Yes, yes, I know, AOSP is top notch on mobile compared to Linux, and GrapheneOS is the way to go.
For now. As long as it lasts.
But I'm quite convinced that the frog started to boil long ago already. We cannot hold high hopes for a platform which is, ultimately, too much controlled by Google. I think time is ticking, and we urgently need Linux alternatives to mobile.
"Won't happen, all apps are for Android and iOS already" is a lame point of view. We wouldn't have LibreOffice if people were "Won't happen, everybody is using MS Office already". Just make it happen!
