Samtime tries out a Fairphone 4 running Ubuntu Touch and it seemed pretty fine. Noted issues were the second camera not working, GPS/Map app being a bit weird, and imo, the screen showing all the apps you have open is terrible. But with the reg app store and waydroid, I think it could be almost managable to use.

My mom is a battery life fiend though, so that part she won't let go of. What's your thoughts?

I really wish Sailfish would offer their OS for a wider range of devices, that OS seem the closest to ready for everyday people to use. Sailfish is great for power users as well!

Unfortunately many parts of Sailfish are proprietary though.

Yeah, but, given how they actually respect your privacy over something like Google...I am hard pressed to be overly concerned about it. Cautious, naturally because some code cannot be reviewed by the public or devs.
