(My experience is on Mobian/Phosh with a Pinephone, YMMV)
As a basic phone (Calls/SMS/etc), it works pretty well. Voicemail works, but depending on your carrier, you may not get a notification for it. There is a Visual Voicemail client in the works, but that still has a bit to go before it could be considered for daily usage.
The camera HW isn't very good, so if you want to take really nice pictures, you would need to have something else to take them. Email/Telegram works well. Signal requires a third party client (which I haven't really tried). There are a few games you can install, but most are basic (2048, Chess, etc.). Running Android specific apps is possible, but not very usable from my experience.
Web browsing can be slow (Firefox can take a while to load).
Convergence is really neat...but I don't really use it since I have a laptop. Mobian is nice in that any Debian package will happily install/run (but YMMV on how well it works on mobile).
