I maintain the PinePhone for pmOS. It's my only phone and I've been using it without major problems (not including temporary regressions) since 2021. I use it for calls, SMS, camera, firefox and a couple of Android applications in Waydroid (Element X, Doordash).

Can't speak for the other user who says "degraded in recent stable release"; I use edge and I'm not aware of any issues, and latest stable is as stable as edge is.

Edit: Actually, one "degraded" in the last few months is that GTK dropped support for hardware acceleration on the PP's ancient GPU (2008, GLES 2 only, gtk requires 3 now) so GNOME-related DEs like Phosh use the CPU for rendering now. It's still snappy enough for the way I use it but it might be slow for videos and such.
