I understand the question and the answers given.
If you don't know if it's Android or something else, it's assumed that you want to be able to run all the apps that Android has.
Technically you can using Anbox, but it will be both slow and instable at the same time.
If you're interested in the PinePhone for the price and privacy, you might opt in for a modern day flip phone instead.
Modern flip phones are running degoogled Android 4, 5, or 6 under the hood, and you can install any APK file on it via ADB (there are no Google apps on flip phones), and the dial pad is able to emulate a trackpad with a cursor (and you can even pinch to zoom with it).
And yes, most models have WiFi and 4G too.
However, while Android games do run on a flip phone, they might not respond to user input very well.
