Android phones ARE linux phones


Android illustrates why GNU/Linux makes a meaningful distinction.


Android phones have nothing to do with what we call Linux phones right now, which is Linux kernel + a Debian/KDE Mobile/something else userspace that is NOT Android. It's not because you share a kernel that you are the same thing, and Android phones are by nature tied to Google by default and keep calling home.
