Ability to use Android and Google Play Store is a make or break feature for him. He said he'll preorder a PinePhone if (and only if) that is possible. What should I tell him?


There is anbox that can make some android apps work, but it's not really mature.

There is also a lot of apps for ubuntu touch: https://open-store.io/

As for Android, I have no idea, most of the focus is on getting Linux OS's to work with the phone.
