    Eh, kind of? I’ve been using it as a phone on-and-off for a while now, the most annoying things are the awful call audio setup (I don’t think it’s even possible to call via bluetooth headphones), no wake-on-call (which sucks for a phone), lack of a good map app (I miss OsmAnd so badly), meh battery life, and other small paper cuts here and there like semi-broken push notifications and buggy GPS.

    I’m avoiding all the anbox/waydroid faffing around for now, in hopes that I will be able to run OsmAnd through android-translation-layer at some point.

      Thanks for sharing! Sounds about as good/bad as I was expecting. How’s the browser experience? Also, are there any features/tweaks you are aware of that you could not get through Nix, that the more “commercial” Linux device manufacturers have developed for their devices?
