I think instead of a particular phone or brand what we need are open standards for a mobile platform.

- RISCV processor

- Standard Logic board

- Standard Screen

- Standard Battery

- Standard Wifi & Bluetooth modem

- Probably ditch cellular and use something like LoRa

- Standard OS (Linux)

- Standard package manager

Edit: Imagine a phone that you can just swap and mix components from different manufacturers. You could buy the components yourself and assemble, like a standard PC. If one manufacturer tries to lock you in, or you don't like their component you simply replace it.

lora is hilariously inadequate for what you mentioned.
