I bought a PinePhone when they were on sale a few months ago for $150. I tinkered around with it for a few days, but it's just been collecting dust ever since. I kind of expected not to use it as a daily driver since I rely on App/Play Store apps, but it was unusable for a bunch of other reasons like:

- Short battery life, was pretty much drained after maybe 4 hours of light use

- The phone would get insanely hot during use, or while plugged into the charger

- Display bugs, every time the phone rotated from portrait to landscape there were black bars or other artifacts

- Poor performance in general, typing too fast caused latency issues and opening apps really made the phone chug

Overall, I think Linux on mobile just needs some more time in the oven along with access to the hardware market that Android/iOS has been able to use for a while. I could probably deal with not having access to the Google/Apple app ecosystem if the phone itself were a smooth user experience, but that's just not the reality of it yet.
