I saw some new announcements about new Linux phones (other than Librem and Pine). Unfortunately I don't remember what they're called. Hopefully this is starting a new wave of Linux phones.

For Europe, I'd say there are quite a few good options now like Volla[1], Fairphone 5 (the best supported phone for ubuntu touch) [2] and the Furi FLX1s [3]
I'm from India and I cannot import any of these devices (due to extreme import tariffs) so I went with an unlocked Redmi Note 10 which I found on the used market and flashed postmarketOS on it, so that is an option as well.

$550.00 and 6.7" 1600x720 Eesh.
Sounds pretty typical for Linux phones. They have really low sales volume, after all. I think Pine only gets away with their prices by borrowing other hardware's production lines - often they say they're unable to change their designs because they're very tightly constrained on matching whatever other devices they're copying.
