Even that will be a massive energy vampire compared to android, that had top notch engineers working on it for close to 2 decades...

Yes and no, SXMO will work without hardware acceleration, I've not tried but I doubt that Android will.

Additionally, minimum requirements of Android 17 are way above what SXMO allows.

With Phosh you would have a point but SXMO is lighter than a modern Android.

Lighter for what? Displaying a clock?

Add a bunch of fat, semi-desktop binaries that actually provide some kind of functionality to make it remotely comparable, and then you just have a worse, fatter system that runs hot and wastes the battery.

Android is a unified system working together to make the device race to sleep as fast as possible, with as few wakeups as feasible (e.g. batch together events that would wake up the device).

		Well, SXMO will run on a low budget 1GB of RAM armv7 handheld released in 2014 and Android 17 just won't, no matter how much you tweak it
