I want to buy a mobile phone that would be great for linux mobile (ubuntu touch or postmarket os), fairphone 4 would be almost ideal if it wasn't so big (i'm currently using pixel 8 + GrapheneOS). What do you recommend for my desire to use a compact mobile for linux + a solid camera? Thanks for the answers.

I think this is the decisive list:

Maybe have a look at availability and how old the chipset is. These are mostly old and slow phones. It also doesn't help if RAM/memory is scarce. I don't have a good recommendation of a decent modern phone.
