    We desperately need another option in this space. I love GOS, but another real competitor in the phone arena would force Google to start playing ball. Hoping this will push the software side forward. They can always fix hardware afterwards.

      From the product page:

      Powered by Linux at its core, our device transforms the mobile experience into something far beyond ordinary smartphones. It combines the stability and openness of a full desktop-class operating system with the convenience of a pocket-sized device. This means it is not limited to mobile apps alone. Native Linux applications and Android apps run side by side, delivering true versatility and freedom of choice

      I suspect it uses Waydroid so there may be issues with Android apps that rely on Google Play services or even worse, depend on the Play Integrity API.
