This is gold!! Thanks so much for sharing.
This might be the last missing piece before I finally get decided to
buy
a smartphone for myself:)
Out of curiousity, any model you'd recommend, steered towards
Guix-friendliness?

I do suggest anything that Replicant (https://replicant.us) can run on.
I
used to have a Galaxy S3 which worked very well until the modem decided
it was time to stop working and drain my battery faster than I could
charge
it :/
The phone you see on the image is a Nexus 5X running lineageos, which is
not FSF-endorsed, but as free as you can get on this phone. I would
recommend getting an armv7 or x86 device, because packages will be more
available than for aarch64 as with my current phone. Having some kind
of external storage is almost a necessity for containing the store (it
can be big). My phone doesn't have that, so I'm a bit limited in the
size
of other personal files I can carry around (esp. offline maps, ebooks,
…).
