I personally don’t have a Steam Deck, but imo I think it can easily replace my phone (in my case) with just Windows 11 Subsystem for Android and a PowerBank. Also, I’m pretty retarded regarding this topic, so I answers for this. Thanks in advance!

It might technically work, but it would be difficult to set up and the experience would be poor. The Steam Deck is HUGE, and its touchscreen is not very sensitive or accurate compared to a modern smartphone. Plus, using it to emulate Android would be very janky, and it doesn’t have 4G/5G radios so you’d need to stay connected to Wifi.
If you’re just looking for voice calls, a simpler solution might be to use a VoIP service that you could access in the built-in browser, no weird installs required. But then you’d have to leave it on in Desktop Mode all the time to receive calls reliably, so it’s not a great experience. If you’re looking for a full replacement for a smartphone…no.
