I'll be honest, I don't know the UX and was looking to actually pick up a pine phone. I will continue my research!

I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.

The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed. Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.

If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.

When I was using my PinePhone I don’t think I was able to get music to play in the background for example. I imagine this has been fixed by now but it was still frustrating.

I've never had such issue and I've never heard of it, so it must be some old bug that was fixed long time ago.
