I am toying with the idea of creating a PDA of sort from a raspberry pie, touchscreen and a powerbank. Case can be 3d printed, it would be bulky af and equipped with Tails or some other secure OS.

only problem is it's just an esp32, but you can add GPS
Why not just get a PinePhone?
Because they are cool and build phones from scratch
Got it, you want a project more than a finished product. I can respect that. :)
Well, sort of...
Or FairPhone??
That's good if you want a phone with an Android fork pre-configured and live in the EU. But the experience here in the US isn't great.
Neither sell their phones in (or ship to) my country.
