I'm not saying they will be the solution, I'm saying they will switch many people away from google. Which is better than what we have now.

Samsung is just an example. I would like any big manufacturer to fork Android and strip Google out of it.
If Samsung does it, it would be great for the deGoogle movement, and would open the floodgates for others.
I know Samsung aren't good guys, but a big company like them ditching Google will open the floodgates for others to also be able to do it
I don't think we need a Linux-Based Phone, A deGoogled Android fork would do, and it would be a familiar place for most users.
Hopefully a company like Samsung offers deGoogled options in the future.
Thankfully the full feature will still work if you get the app from F-Droid
Hopefully this will motivate more people use F-Droid
It's likely small changes and it should work.
It's a whole new market Voyager can capture if they're the first or best good Mobile app for PieFed
I use this as the "Mobile App"

With the features PieFed has, it's a better experience than any of the Lemmy apps I've tried
