I have both (Book & Phone), and AFAIK they both run at 1.15 GHz. I agree that they aren't slow if you adjust workloads and maybe expectations, but seemingly many commenters here (but also on, e.g., YouTube) aren't willing to do that.

I don’t know, my android phone 2 devices before (sony ericcson xperia x10 mini from 2010) was orders of magnitude smoother and faster (with 256MB of RAM!), and it didn’t get scorching hot from simply being turned on. Honestly, try browsing the web for a few minutes and it gets uncomfortably hot. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if some devices (mine included) have buggy hardware more so than the one you got, because I would expect much worse overall opinions otherwise. And arm is not a new compilation target, so I don’t buy software differences being entirely the culprit, either. Worse battery life? Sure, that would explain it. But having trouble running a terminal and opening settings in 45 seconds is just criminal.

  > Honestly, try browsing the web for a few minutes and it gets uncomfortably hot. I really haven't had that experience in quite a while. I am mostly running DanctNIX or postmarketOS 22.06 with Phosh and browse with Firefox (with uBlock Origin - I also have a second Firefox profile that has NoScript installed for sites that just have too much janky JavaScript) or Epiphany. It may help that the south of Germany is not super hot (just hot) and that I use Biktorgj's Modem firmware. Edit, example: I am writing this in Firefox on postmarketOS while having 4 other tabs open and also two more apps (Tootle and Secrets), and the phone isn't even slightly warm.

    How long does the battery last for you browsing like that?

      That's something I really should try to measure. I would guess that it lasts a bit longer than two hours; definitely way longer than my PinePhone Pro. Battery life totally could be better (one coukld also see it as a feature to not mindlessly be on the phone all day), like OP I really hope for a battery case that's not as bulky as the keyboard case.
