Is a modern phone a general purpose computer?

What kind-of UI does a modern phone present?

A modern phone is not a general purpose computer. They are proprietary, locked down devices. Appliances.

"The PinePhone is a smartphone that empowers users with control over the device. It is capable of running mainline Linux, features hardware privacy switches, and is designed for open-source enthusiasts."

Perhaps I simply failed to see your definition of "a general purpose computer".

Please say what rules must be passed to meet your definition.
