I think when people say "Linux phone" they mean GNU/Linux.

No. Most people mean PostmarketOS, which is Busybox/musl/Linux

No? PMOS isn't the only thing people refer to by "Linux phone", often its something like Ubuntu touch, which absolutely is GNU.

Fair but Ubuntu Touch is not mainline Linux. It's a hack to get a GNU/systemd Userland working with an Android kernel (which arguably is also a huge feat)
