    It’s frustrating that we’re still not there (with even one daily-drivable phone), but it’s getting closer and closer.

    I also think it’s possible to get a lot of value from these devices in the meantime- when used as pocketable tablets. I have to carry a light backpack around pretty often anyway, so it’s easy enough to just throw an old Android in there for calls / SMS and tether a OnePlus 6 (with pmOS) to it for everything else.

    Never considered anything other than Android, but it’s an excellent idea. It’s a shame none of the options are good. Anyone have any insight as to why things suck?

      I’d say wildly variable hardware configurations with poor driver support.

      The situation would improve if hardware vendors would upstream the code, but I just don’t see it.

      Lack of funding. Throw enough money at this problem and it will be solved.
