- opening the phosh views needs at least a drag of 1/5th of the screen from the display bottom or top which is too much on the large FLX1 screen
- the latest app should be moved to the right in phosh like on android and there's no quick gesture to switch between apps (I would prefer the bottom left/right swipe like on iphone and android if you switch on gestures
- other than that, #phosh is awesome: fast, snappy, beautiful

- libadwaita based apps: when scrolling, the item that is under your finger gets highlighted which is surprisingly bad for the feeling
- selecting, copy paste is working but unreliably, often it needs 2-3 tries or some context menu gets opened and in the way (eg in ff)

Gnome Maps lags behind android maps apps by a far margin, no clicking on POIs, no search for nearby POIs, no offline mode
Gnome Files is almost unusable, scrolling opens the context menu and multiple selection via long click does not work. The FLX1 has a rudimentary alternative for that reason.

Typing on squeekboard feels a lot less good than on the android keyboard. I think it's a bit too small on vertical and a bit too large on horizontal mode and it does not support special characters when holding long on a similar character (e.g. a and ä) and the space for "space" is too small. Also there seems to be no option to manually close it.

Many apps are adaptable which is great and many feel snappy (incl ff, calendar, all waydroid apps) but some important ones feel slow and scroll choppily, e.g Gnome Software and #tuba

#waydroid is awesome and things like signal work without a problem but the android apps are still too much of a separate world (no shared clipboard, only one shared folder - sending a photo needs moving it with the linux file manager to the shared folder and then with the android file manager to the abdroid pictures folder, content of android notifications not visible in Linux - only "5 signal notifications", opening links in android should open them in the linux default browser)

I've been using an FLX1 as,daily driver (though it still has problems with mobile internet which are currently being addressed) for two weeks now. I'm very happy how well things work already.
Largest pain points:
