I'm the sort of person who lives on the cli, I've been considering trying to port some of my emacs/gnus setup to my android device. I wonder how well it would work?

Check out Termux. I'm running Emacs on both my phone and tablet on occasion. https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Main_Page https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Main_Page

  Note: also works on new-ish Chromebooks (so you don't necessarily need to enable developer mode to work offline).

  You must hook a real keyboard up, right? I can't even imagine trying to run emacs on an on-screen touch keyboard.

    Hacker Keyboard will allow you to achieve a lot. All, with all CLI programs? That I do not know. There is a learning curve either way. You can also SSH out of your machine with a terminal app (recommend to look into Mosh) if you got a good internet connection such as 4G/LTE or WiFi. Then you can run e.g. Mutt remotely. Use with tmux and never close it. As for hook up, there's BT and USB OTG.
