> the future setup is going to be phones as a singular device

I had a four-day weekend where the only device I had was my Android phone. I needed to work on a release of our software, so I had to fix a few bugs, write a press release, get content ready for the website. On the way out, I grabbed the laptop bag, but forgot the laptop. On some of the higher-end android devices, if you plug them into a monitor you get desktop mode. So down to the hotel "business center" I went with my LG Wing and plugged in a monitor, keyboard and mouse using the usb-c dongle I usually use as a hub for my laptop. A lot of the apps played nice, so email (Fairemail is a fantastic piece of software), word processing (Google Docs App), editing screenshots (PicSayPro) and SSH(Connectbot) were all fantastic. Could Android desktop mode use a little polish? Sure. For any serious development, I'd prefer to edit and test on localhost... but honestly, the experience wasn't bad, and from time to time I'll go phone-only to the office if I know I'm not going to be coding all day.
