For the majority of distros:

  - calls -> yes (to include VoLTE on a lot of US carriers)
  - SMS -> yes
  - battery life -> not very good (3-4 hours screen time?, less than a day standby)
  - mobile data -> yes
  - wifi ->
  - (optional) MMS -> no

Actually, Sxmo has MMS patches pending on the mailing list which allow receiving and viewing text, audio, and video content: https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-devel/patches/14017

EDIT: Wifi works perfectly for me as well, including excellent hotspot (via nmcli)

Holy crap, that is awesome!

It looks like they are asking for testers, but I cannot seem to figure out how to add it. Do you have knowledge on how to do that (or a good place to point to to try it)?

It also looks like it is for downloading MMS only, it doesn't look like it has support (yet) for sending them.

Sorry, that looks to be a typo by me, I meant to say it works just fine for me.
