Only yesterday I discovered I could play an adventure game in emacs. Then I discovered a bunch of layers and modes that were awesome. I haven't begun to scratch the surface, but if I buy a new Nexus 6P can I just flash Emacs on it?

You do not need to flash anything. It's already available on Android phones even without root. I use it on unrooted Nexus 6p.

Google "Termux emacs".

+1 for Termux.

I started using it purely for the novelty of running emacs on my phone (a moto x pure) and it's a great piece of software. It's even open source!

How do you use it? I couldn't imagine using Emacs with a software keyboard.
If using software keyboard, Hacker Keyboard works great!

Otherwise, the Logitech K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0148NPH9I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_l... ) is great.

Volume up and down are used as modifiers. Sounds crazy but it works.
Have you asked your M-x doctor about it yet? ;)
A shortcut to dial a number from within an org mode phonebook would be perfect :)
With Twilio that should actually be possible.
A great way to discover things in emacs is the unmemorable command `finder-list-keywords` which gives you a menu of all the features in emacs by category
