Rather, what I have done :

Buy an android phone. A good one. Whichever you like.

Install F-droid from website.

Install Termux from F-droid.

You get a full Debian linux running inside your phone as an app. No need to even root your phone.

You can now :

Access, parse your address book, sms, call records everything from command line.

Access sensors on your phone from command line -- like GPS, compass or camera.

Access SD card and other files. rsync, scp, wget and others.

SSH into your server.

Edit some Java files, compile and install it as an app from your phone.

Install other packages that you need using apt-get or pkg. Like python, ruby, php, gcc.

And many more.
