The talk will start with a description of what hardware is typically
found in a smartphone and its freedom implications.

Once this is done we will look at several smartphones models
(PinePhone, PinePhone PRO, Librem 5, regular LineageOS and/or
Fairphone 1/2/3/4/5) and compare the implications of the hardware
design and component choices both for freedom usability (for instance
does suspend-to-ram currently work), and other factors affecting the
ability to use the device.

We will then look at Android and GNU/Linux operating systems /
distributions, and the application ecosystems around them (F-Droid,
Android SDK, type of applications available, compatibility layers like
Waydroid) for these smartphones, with a focus on fundamental
differences that impact end users freedom and usability.
