Ya know, the biggest thing stopping me from a Linux phone right now is the fact I use my phone for games that backup my save data using gøøg|e. As much as I hate it, I don't know if there are any sandbox apps that would allow me to play my mobile games like Project Sekai (I don't know whether it uses gøøg|e to back up my save or not, but I needed an example since I know most other games I play use different methods).
This may seem odd, but from a person that has a two-digit amount of phones: You know that it's possible two own more than one phone at a time, e.g., a Linux Phone and a Game Phone? ;-)
You can copy the app data with adb to back up locally stored saves to your computer
Some day I'll have to get around to learning how to do that. Though, I'd have to look and see what games have locally stored saves. The only games I know have a locally stored save are the ones I use on JoiPlay. And PvZ Reflourished
