I have been writing and doing a number of videos about the PinePhone on https://linmob.net https://linmob.net.
There is not one interface, there are many. I personally like Purism's Phosh the best, as Plasma Mobile has had more problems for me. The typing experience is overall ok, but it's not fancy (no autocorrect on Phosh, no swiping on any keyboard). I think watching videos can help you getting an idea on that.
What needs to improve? Overall reliably. I've inevitably always run into slowness and lockups after some time (postmarketOS Phosh did best, I could go a week without reboot). But things are slowly coming together, even video acceleration is coming with a future GStreamer release.[1]

- thx 5y ago> I have been writing and doing a number of videos about the PinePhone on https://linmob.net https://linmob.net. Thanks for posting - have had a hard time finding quality reviews & will definitely check out at length Also the “Purism Phosh” pro-tip on the interface is much appreciated. Had no idea you could actually do multiple interfaces (like with a Linux Box) but I guess that makes sense. My impression is they’re really spearheading the open-source functionality all at once in these smartphone devices & at the moment, it’s too new / may be a lot rn to tie together all the loose-ends of its potential .. am hopeful with each iteration, the Pinephone will be a more solid / reliable phone. Looking forward to giving it a go
