I do not see much added value in a hacky phone, which does not use an open source processor. Only RISCV and a fully open source OS and bootloader will add enough value to compensate the massive convenience loss of not simply using GrapheneOS.
Rochchip is a great Pi alternative but the node they use is far less efficient than Qualcomm. So not a great phone chip.
