I learned of Waydroid yesterday in the NewPipe thread, haven't had a chance to look into it yet! It sounds cool but so far emulators have always been unusably slow. Since it's not being presented as some major breakthrough, I don't expect it to be better than Google's official emulator. Still planning to take a look, though And good to know they're supposed to work with regular gsm networks! Didn't find much on a quick search, so I wasn't sure. I assume it requires specific hardware and software, like a Purism rather than flashing a distribution onto the phone model you like?

Waydroid isn't a VM, it runs parts of the Android software stack directly on the real kernel on bare metal. So perf should be good. As to cell connectivity / telephony: Honestly I'm not super familiar, I just see it mentioned sometimes; I'd suggest asking in the postmarketos matrix chat. I suspect it works in a somewhat general sense but might need some work per device to get drivers working or something like that.
