Mostly Chinese companies have been very busy designing & manufacturing actual silicon. And prices for such products have come down a lot, too.

It wouldn't surprise me if at some point there's RISC-V based phones, tablets & other devices on Chinese market, that most people outside China simply don't know about.

Or that teardown of a cheap phone sold in say, India, turns out to have a RISC-V SoC inside without much public attention beforehand.

Probably sooner than later. RISC-V is bound to become a lowest common denominator for computing devices especially at the low end. Picked by default unless <insert specific requirement here>.

Android being ported is a logical consequence of this.
