At the moment I would recommend FuriLabs solution. https://furilabs.com/
It already has a built in Android VM that allows seamless FDroid and Aurora Store usage.
Since FuriOS is a based Debian distro, it should be reduced friction to use PostmarketOS or UbuntuTouch.
That looks surprisingly good (I see there's a 5G modem).
Does it make phone calls + send texts + manage battery reasonably?
Also, what does "non-rugged" design mean?
(I've had a few pieces of niche phone hardware before, and none of them had good answers to even one of those questions.)
