Calendar | gnome-calendar | Calendar | GTK4+Adw | N | karlender | Karlender is preinstalled with Phosh. |
Characters | gnome-characters | Character map | GTK4+Adw | Y | squeekboard's emoji selector | It's pretty easy to accidentally click the icons, and the popups don't have an X button, so you have to go back to the app drawer to close them. |
Cheese | cheese | Camera | GTK3 | N | megapixels | Does not support ARM cameras. |
Clocks | gnome-clocks | Clocks | GTK4+Adw | Y | - | |
Connections | gnome-connections | Remote desktop access | GTK3+Hdy | N | N | |

Disks | gnome-disk-utility | Disk partitioning/management | GTK3+Hdy | Y | - | Works, but you can't scroll sideways when a lot of partitions are available. Also the internal storage on the Galaxy A5 seems to show up as "SD card reader"... |

Files | nautilus | File manager | GTK4+Adw | P | portfolio | It's adaptive, but for some reason treats taps as right-clicks. |

Weather | gnome-weather | Weather forecast | GTK4+Adw | P | - | Trying to type in the city on the startup screen closes the selector popup, so I couldn't test it much. |
Web | epiphany | Internet browser | GTK4+Adw | Y | firefox |
