Divine D is an open source linux-friendly smartphone project. This is the first I've heard of them and they seem to still be mostly in the design phase, but it's something that I am certainly going to start tracking.
Here are some of the features they claim the phone will support:
-MicroSDXC interface for high-speed removable storage
- Micro HDMI 2.1 connector with support for 8K/60 Hz video output
- LoRa module for low-power, long-range communication
- Haptic engine with a motor and driver
- Battery switch that physically disconnects the battery
- LED lights for status indicators
- An IR LED
- 18 pogo pins for easy access to GPIO, SPI, UART, I2C, and JTAG interfaces.
- And instead of a mini PCIe connector, the new board has an M.2 B-Key connector for a M.2 3042 cellular module for GSM and 4G LTE connectivity.
Some other interesting features:
The Divine D. phone is also expected to feature kill switches that let you physically disconnect the mic, camera, and cellular features when they’re not in use.
Other features are expected to include support for up to 32GB of LPDDR4x memory, up to 256GB of eMMC storage, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, stereo speakers, dual microphones, a headphone jack, and USB-C port.
I don't have the skills to assess whether this project is legit or not, but it's cool to see other competitors in the open-source phone space. It's cool to see something new next to PinePhone and Purism (neither of which have I used or even researched very much).

Here seems to be their most recent design update (nov, 2025): https://docs.dawndrums.tn/blog/dd-rev1.1-arch/
And here's the blog post they made about the update: https://docs.dawndrums.tn/blog/dd-rev1.1-arch
They also released a little hype-video...I hope they are better at designing phones than they are at making videos.
