I don't use Android anymore but I have like four old phones lying around that I could easily use to play with. I wonder if this has better battery life than the GPD Win, and it would be a free experiment for me.

Well my phone (Samsung S9+) can do like 12 hours of Node.js+VSCode coding while using BT keyboard and mouse. Not bad IMHO.

And the USB-C port of this phone can be used with a usual dock to connect it to a screen and wired peripherals.

Do you have a keyboard case that lets you just type with your thumbs?
