Sadly it’s old (2021) and underpowered. That’s not a huge deal breaker because it has pros like being repairable and pretty private. The real problem is that they are regularly late on os and security updates (multiple weeks to months). For example they only officially added support for Android 12 this February and there is still no official support for Android 13.

Unless you specifically want the repairability a Pixel with GrapheneOS is simply much more secure and private.

You can put Calyx on the FP4 (which is what I did).
