Unlocked phones are the way to go, there are more and more arm based distros coming out. Soon I think we'll have a Linux like os for phones. Unlocked ones at least.
There the PinePhone which has a few different distros available for it. Not that I'd really recommend it for a daily driver since its more of a development device more than anything else. But I trust that the community will be able to get things working even if it takes a while.
I was debating between fairphone and the newest Zenphone (because it only has one camera that swivels). Ended up going with the Zenphine for the storage (have 500gigs on my phone lol) and extra power.
Still probably should have gone with the faiephoen just for the OS options and replaceable parts though.
100%
I still use a Galaxy Tab 2 with a SlimRom 7, overclocked and kept light it works great for youtube and movies.
Lineage OS is also another great option.

Fairphone 3 supports /e/. It's also totally repairable. As in each individual module can be replaced like your replace parts on a desktop PC.

Fantastic project.
