We do have this. Not perfect but a good effort by them. https://www.braxtech.net/

Pre-order. So it's not on the market yet.

Correct. They are shipping it in batches. The first one already shipped I think.

It runs iode OS. A forked project of lineage. It's also capable of running Ubuntu touch. It's a great project, just has some deal breakers for me. If I ever de-google I'd rather use an existing device.

At least for me.

1612 x 720P screen, not terrible but not great. Would be a downgraded from current device

5000Mah battery, nice; 10W charging, err; 2.5 - 3 hour charge time, yikes.

Mediatek 6300 octa core processor, not actually terrible, but performs less than my current device.

8GB RAM, again not horrible, same as my current but it could be a tad higher. Can't complain too much about this one though.

Overall not a bad device. For someone who doesn't use their phone heavily and like the idea of a dedicated privacy friendly phone, it may do well.

Also for its price point. It is only fair that it wouldn't be the top performing device of course.
