I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I'm a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

It is fun to play with, but it is not suitable to use as a primary phone. It has poor battery life and is very slow.

do you think the pro is more suitable at least computing power wise? like could it run matrix clients / simplex?

I have a PinePhone Pro, and it runs nheko very well. Fractal is a little slower, but still usable. Not sure about Simplex I'm afraid.
