I have 800+ apps installed, so it's more like what can't I do on my phone.

I can download videos, watch videos, edit videos, take photos, edit photos, create ebooks, read ebooks, read comics, listen to music, listen and watch podcasts, remote into my server, run terminal programs, run Linux Distros, Document editing, gaming(MTX free mobile, or emulation), web debugging, Android debugging, check the weather, predict the weather using detailed info and radar. communicate via the 30+ chat and social media apps as required by my extended family and friends, and much much more.

I pull out my Switch or Steam Deck when I want to just game, as despite how powerful my phone is, putting it in a controller grip is jank, and outside of emulation there are very few mobile games that aren't full of MTX and gacha mechanics these days.

I pull out my laptop when I want a keyboard with bigger screen for working, or I need more horsepower than even my high-end phone provides. Also to play more hardware demanding games than my Steam Deck can provide.
