Then your reading comprehension is quite low.  I directly addressed the
specifics of “Using a Phone Like a Pi”, when you seem to want to have
nothing to do with the topic you yourself raised.  So get your
thinking straight.  If you want to talk bare metal, talk bare metal in
a different thread.

Nobody said they weren’t.  They *also* were clearly and abundantly
trollish.  If that was not your intent, the burden is on *you* to tell
us how *you* are using low-end tablets as a platform for things, and
then ideally how they perform better than an RPi for those things.
But, like I said, that would not be surprising at all, because there
are many problems that can be solved with an app and/or some small bit
of hardware that interfaces with a mobile device.
