cons:
poor battery life, although keyboard case helps).
lot of bugs.
it is not android, most android apps do not work. and android virtualization is heavy anyway.
pros:
it is not android, android have limited environment.
it is linux (distribution) based (actually). (i call android as fake linux).
i still have de-googled android, termux (or other console) could be installed on android but termux operates inside android app environment, therefore limitations. even if you use android su, android's core environment is limited but different ways. android is designed in a way that apps are developed outside of android devices.
For the battery life, yeah I think that's a problem, but most of the time I either am near a plug, or my phone is off, so eh.
For bugs, I am not really afraid + the software *will* get better overtime with updates and all.
For the whole "not-compatible-with-Android", most of the apps I use either are useless, or there is a free Linux alternative available.
However I am kinda scared by the first reply about missed calls... Did you have such problems too? And I'm wondering if I should just get a Pinephone or a PPP, knowing that I don't want to pay all that much, and still want to have a smoother experience than the one I used to have(a 2018 J250Y).
