Daily driving

I would like all daily-drivers to contribute to this page.
Imagine you had such when you were curious if your scenario is covered. It would have saved time…
== Use case ==
Being dissatisfied with bloated Android or conservative self-aware iPhone is not enough.
You need to get through issues below to decide if it's a good idea.
Consider below scenarios:
* NO: I'm social-media addicted person. Ad-based social-media are no-goal, support for those apps is constrained.
* NO: I need 100% battle-tested alternative ecosystem. This software is not yet stable enough
* NO: I communicate mostly through Microsoft Teams, LinkedIN, Skype. None of these apps are designed to work on a Linux smartphone.
* NO: I use plenty of shiny apps: shop-discounts, mobile games. None of these apps are designed to work on Linux smartphone also non-goal.
* NO: I rely on quick mobile payments. NFC payments are not supported natively, banking apps neither. (Unless you use Waydroid (Android in container)).
* NO: I use my phone really intensively: Unless you have powerbank, I would not try it. 
* NO: I need my phone to have a high-quality camera. 
* YES: I use my phone for SMS, calls, web browser, Matrix/XMPP/IRC, news
* YES: I use my phone for calls and SMS everything else I do via browser
* YES: I am tired of non-removable ads and tracking I'm ready to sacrifice comfort for getting rid of it
* YES: Although I use my phone for non-trivial tasks, I want to escape overwhelming notifications
== Issues ==
Linux phones are suffering with multiple issues that could be categorized in following way:
=== Software ===
* No mobile payments (no native banking apps, no gPay, no ApplePay stack ported — just carry a card)
* No popular social-media apps, you could possibly use them via browser with limited functionality.
* No (noisy) notifications from apps excluding SMS/Dialer, UnifiedPush not integrated
* Default behavior — GUI app does not run in background. (On android when you launch an app and close it, mostly you could still receive notifications from it provided that it has permission)
* Suspend behavior — freeze user space and running apps, wake on modem events
* No dual-sim support
* Issues with MMS and separated APNs (Upstream, ModemManager)
* Wiki pages listing apps:
** Applications_by_category
** Applications_by_function
** GNOME_apps
=== Hardware ===
* no trust store, keys stored in secret-service unlocked (or not) on boot (exception: Librem 5 supports OpenPGP card)
* (in most cases) no camera support
* SoC suspend issues (most phones does not properly handle this)
* Mainline issues, downstream kernels are dirty piece of code that could not be ported or upstreamed. pmOS is not designed to work with them.
* Old slow SoCs, PinePhone developers and designers put huge amount of work to prove that it is possible to bring full hardware-software support. However, a device that launches a browser in > 6 sec. simply cannot compete with instant response that we know from Android.
=== Mixed ===
* (Ultra) power saving mode is problematic due to SoCs, there is no software stack that could behave in similar way. Power saving known from Linux laptop is sometimes available.
* Mostly no tri-state-key support from software
* NFC rarely supported from hardware, no phone shell-integrated behavior for handling events.
* With suspend disabled, battery life is awful
* No eSIM support on non-Qualcomm devices - see eSIM Manager
* No RCS
* Mostly no USB OTG
* Call with Bluetooth headset is missing
== What should I expect? ==
=== Positive ===
* 99,99% lack of ANY system or in-app advertising, micropayments and all this disturbing mobile-era crap. Imagine good old Nokia that evolved on university. Does what it is designed to do and nothing more. Browser without ad-blocker are exception.
* No aggressive telemetry, no tracking-by-default, no TOS, no Privacy Policy, no data is captured. 
* You put a sim card into your device, you set your lock screen pin, you are good to go. No account is obligatory to use phone.
* Easy automation using shell scripts, autostart
* You could write an app in any programming language that Linux supports, without bindings.
* Modern GNOME/Kirigami apps are working on both desktop and Linux mobile. They are handy and minimal.
* Great PC ⇿ Linux Mobile integration with KDE Connect (easy sharing of: files, notification, clipboard) 
* You can encrypt your /root partition using standard LUKS and type pass on boot.
=== Negative ===
* Battery drain
* Mostly no camera
* No notifications (excl. SMS and dialer)
* Music may not stop when someone calls you. More than one audio stream could be played at once.
=== Phosh ===
* No home screen, just list of apps instead
* No widgets on home screen
* before 0.40 no toggle switch for mobile data on/off
=== Plasma Mobile ===
* no VPN toggle switch
* Issues with copy-paste between GTK and Qt apps
=== SXMO/SWMO ===

== Devices ==
=== SHIFT6mq ===
* Device page: SHIFT_SHIFT6mq_(shift-axolotl)
Volunteer needed
=== Oneplus 6 ===
* Device page: OnePlus_6_(oneplus-enchilada)
* Probably the best availability, price to usability ratio
* Fast enough to compete with mainstream phones
* Huge drawback are unstable calls (randomly you don't hear caller) and no camera
=== BQ Aquaris X5 ===
* Device page: BQ_Aquaris_X5_(bq-paella)
* Although everything excluding camera and suspend are supported, this device is notably slower comparing to op6
* All audio routed through modem on this SoC
=== PinePhone ===
* Device page: PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)
* Working camera and great post-processing scripts in megapixels.
* Alternative FOSS modem firmware.
* Security, Privacy: Modem connected through USB bus.
* Unfortunately extremely slow, even in optimized apps written in compiled languages in c/c++/rust.
* It is overheating.
* Battery drain is a total disaster.
* Earpiece loudness is weak.
