Is the pine phone usable / comparable to an iPhone now (maybe not image quality), but for msging, video calls, internet and basic social media apps?
Are there any clips of people using them with a docking station?
Simple answer, NO. I tell other people that think of a PinePhone as a computer that can text and make phone calls. I have used the PinePhone as a daily driver in the past, I currently use the PinePhone Pro as my daily driver. It has bad and good.
I have a docking station at work to charge and use a full keyboard and mouse. At home I VNC into the phone. VNC is shown in my videos (link below)
I use Arch Linux on EVERYTHING, so... I have only used Arch with Phosh on my PinePhone.
