"Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone"

I use a #Librem5 #Linux #phone. With the default #PureOS operating system.
Enjoy your #freedom, break free from #Google and #Apple.
Have a full Linux computer in your pocket that you can also use for calling.
Questions? Ask me.

Except for the fact that they all are way out of my budget for a phone (I don't want to waste more than 200 € for a phone!), I'm not sure all "mandatory" apps I have to use are compatible with those phones (bank, government, SPID, school and health-related, ...) and anyway I won't spend such money unless I'm sure of that.
Sorry, would really love to switch (especially to EU phones!), but can't afford that.
@AAMfP @janvlug Out of curiosity, how often do you replace your phone?
I wonder if that's something where that "don't want to spend more than 200 €" comes from. Over the last 20 years I have only used GNU/Linux phones and they have all cost significantly more than that, but there were only three of them (plus some spare parts) so they may have actually been cheaper than the average overall.
@AAMfP @janvlug (to not be misleading, it was actually 18 years and I did carry an additional second-hand Android phone around 2017-19 when N900 got too old to act as a proper smartphone, so under ideal market conditions it would probably be 4 phones over that time actually)
