I probably need to spend a bit of time determining what apps in my must-haves have workable options on PinePhone yet. The last Ubuntu Touch build I played with was very sluggish, but I've heard really good things about more recent ones. OTA is a big deal, since re-flashing my phone to get software updates is not a workable solution for me.

Probably the toughest thing to lose will be my bank's app... I was used to not having it when I was on Windows Mobile, but mobile check desposit has been really nice to have since I've been on my little iPhone lifeboat.

Is it possible to emulate Android smoothly enough to make this possible? I'm thinking something like Wine integration on desktop linux, maybe.

There is Anbox, but I haven't attempted it yet.

Ubuntu Touch is a lot more usable and smooth. PostmarketOS still feels sluggish, but when I tried it the first day it was unusable.
