> FreeBSD Phones...

Not really a "FreeBSD phones" just "phones" or "mobile multimedia
capable embedded devices" as anything can run on them :-)

For instance NuttX RTOS on PinePhone takes kilobytes in total:

There will be many different operating systems soon available on this
kind of inexpensive powerful multimedia embedded systems.

The problem is standard and compatibility.

Unless vendor does not provide complete set of open source drivers and
firmwares there will be no move forward.

Unless application written for one won't run on another there will be
no move forward.

Unless there is no overcomplicated SDK and toolchain with libraries
that have lifespan shorter than a bread there will be no move forward.

Because who needs bare OS/RTOS with no useful familiar applications.
