Are you using the Pinephone as your daily driver?
#3
As an experiment, I bought the cheapest phone I could find at Best Buy. Got this Alcatel Raven or something for about $25. The specs on this thing were probably weaker than the pinephone all around. The screen is awful and I swear the wifi antenna is bubblegum wrapper, but it's otherwise fairly responsive and snappy. If I can get by on something like that, then the Pinephone absolutely has the hardware to be great. All the barriers keeping me from replacing my pixel 4a entirely are all software based.

All my friends use Discord. That's the last *real* hurdle for me, and everything else I want is extra credit (like a swipe to type keyboard, or Retroarch to not crash, or maybe better clients for email and sites like reddit/Twitter
