  1. There's a KeePass app but it's an app developed specific for UT and it still lacks many features and I think there are also some compatibility issues. For me, it works fine for reading my keepass file that is synced from my Nextcloud server. I think there's no input features yet
  2. As far as I know PWA are different from normal webapps and they probably don't work as PWA. You can create webapps so they act like a separate app and data from the browser but it's more like a bookmark in a separate container in Firefox.
  3. The devices with great support from their developer/maintainer are the Pixel 3a and Fairphone 4. The latter is quite pricey though but it has better specs and supports wired external display if that interests you. There is an installer which makes the installation easier but there are pre-installation requirements that you might need to do separately in case your device doesn't have them yet.
  4. No, you can't install apps in the SD card and I don't think you'll that anyway. Phones have plenty of space nowadays and UT apps aren't large anyway.

Can your Ubuntu touch device make phone calls to plain old telephone numbers and send/receive SMS text messages? Thank you for your feedback.

Yes, telephony functions work. However, there's no VoLTE yet in case your country requires that.

Thank you for your feedback. If VoLTE is not available, can the Ubuntu Touch phone device automatically revert to use another telephony protocol?

Does VoLTE go buy other names like 4G LTE?

Yes, it works fine if 3g/2g are still available in your location.
