    I imagine it might be possible to fully spoof another phone model for specific apps. Seems like the kind of thing that should be technically possible by copying cryptographic keys from other devices, and then using root system access to spoof “correct” responses from the Android APIs.

    I also imagine this will be an important feature for a lot of users, so someone is likely going to do the work to get it working if Linux phones become (otherwise) viable Android phone replacements.

    But all this is just speculation!
