The value proposition of old or used android phones as SBCs is insane! You’ve probably got some in your drawers, or can at worst buy some carrier locked ones for 30$. You get a device with better compute than a raspberry pi, with a screen, cameras, speakers, flashlight and battery attached!
Personally, I use them to run and monitor my 3d printers.
That’s an interesting suggestion, thanks! I might wind up trying that for android auto + google voice 🤔
