PinePhone versus Sailfish (Sony/Jolla)
#3
I'm a long time Sailfish user. There are currently no distros for the PinePhone that get close to SFOS on the Sony devices. This is, of course, not at all surprising given the respective age of the projects. SFOS has it's issues but daily driver qualification is always mitigated by Android app support if you have paid for the license.

I do really want to make the switch to PinePhone as my primary device but progress is needed on UX, performance and calling stability before I'm prepared to ditch SFOS which I really like as a product albeit not a FOSS one.

Recent progress on native SFOS browser and Signal client are also showing there's some life in the project. The one feature I've found superior on the PinePhone side so far is the Mobian FDE implementation that lets you set a strong password and unlock with a proper OSK.
