I’m thinking about buying a degoogled Android phone to replace my iPhone. The main things I want are:

* Spotify needs to work over Bluetooth in my car

* WhatsApp needs to work (preferably with push notifications)

* I need the Fitbit app to work so my watch can show push notifications from my personal apps

* a network-based location provider to be consumed by my personal apps (I’m working on a personal data and automation suite that relies on frequent smartphone location updates)

Is this something that can be done with CalyxOS on a Pixel? Can other Android flavours like GrapheneOS or LineageOS do this?

And aside from Android, how far along are other “mobile linux” smartphones for use as a daily driver with regards to the above points?
