I created an account after someone shared this thread in a FOSS mobile computing channel.
To answer your questions:
1. A back camera is nice to have for scanning data codes. Key exchange might be a bit of a hassle otherwise.
2. Notification LED, I can't think of a use for anything else. The sixaxis might be a nice quality-of-life thing, but really GNSS/magnetometer is more useful than the IMU.
3. Whichever has better kernel support.
4. GNSS+compass is always useful. It gives you a RTC and if incorporated into a mesh device, it can give the network useful information.
5. no opinion
6. no opinion, but see my other post for an idea
7. smaller if possible?
Although, if I am already carrying around my pinephone, then I wouldn't see myself carrying around this device too. The only thing I wish about the PP were that the screen were smaller, but I love it so far!
Thank you!
