Pros
Pro User-friendly
If you have used and loved Amiga, this is like classic Amiga but more stable and fun to use.
Pro Lightweight
Super lightweight, start up takes less than 20 seconds on 10 year old hardware. Works on most PowerPC-hardware by Apple.
Pro Old Amiga software compatibility
I was surprised to see most of my must have Amiga software worked without problems here like AmIrc, ArtEffect and Personal Paint.
Pro Customizable
You can customize the GUI or download already made parts of GUI from MorphOS storage sites like this one here.
Pro Comes with Nougat
Unlike Remix OS, Phoenix OS is recently released and comes with Android 7.0. Remix OS support is discontinued and no further updates can be expected. But Phoenix OS updates can be expected. UI is same for both OS.
Pro Accelerated gaming
With Phoenix OS you guys can play any android games on pc with 30+ fps but minimum requirements must be met (pentium 4 cores with 8 gig ram) [must] and even Intel gfx would also work to run heavy games like mc5 (fps) and kritika (role playing) or pubg(tps) usually puzzle games never lags on this OS
Pro Regularly updated
Phoenix OS updated at least every month, bringing in new features and bug fixes with every release.
Pro For gaming
Cons
Con Entirely lacks in security
There's no security at all. All programs share the same memory. The system can easily get hacked, even by a less skilled hacker.
Con Lack of software
Compatible with most modern Amiga software compiled for MorphOS, but does not run modern Windows or MacOS software.
Con Lots of ads
So many sucky ads for no apparent reason, making it not free at all.
cant even open a FileManager withouth clicking closed ad
Con 32-bit version is no longer supported or updated
The developers of Phoenix OS have dropped support for the 32-bit version of Phoenix OS. It is still on Andriod 5.1 Lollipop and was last updated on 19 October 2017
Con Google Play service is not updating
Don't expect Google services-based apps.
Con It's snappy, in a way
Snappy but not smooth. Snappy when it comes to games. Setting the resolution to 1080 but that doesnt take effect on games which still run on low resolution.
