There is Anbox for that.


Great, but it seems to be quite 'experimental' (and buggy) rather than production ready for people wishing to switch from Android to the Pinephone.

Just saying it is 'There' doesn't really tell us how well it actually runs on it. To quote the grandparent comment mentioning the word 'seamlessly' as the requirement.

(It's not the Pinephone, but another GNU/Linux phone. Should be similar apart from the performance)


As I already said [0], it is just as sluggish as the PinePhone.

The grandparent comment asked if it could 'seamlessly' run Android apps (Obviously not iOS) and clearly in that video, it is not the case and it is already struggling with running simple Android apps.

I'm afraid Android users hoping to jump on either of these phones right now will be disappointed.
