Unlike Project Leonardo, the Sony DualSense Edge wireless controller is available now, as of today.

L8STAR’s BM60 Mini has no problem running Android, but trying to run the operating system on a Sony CMD-Z5 flip phone from 2000 is an entirely different story. Why? It comes equipped with a grayscale 96×72 display, a mini-SIM slot, and a removable Li-ion 500mAh battery, which means running Android required replacing all of its internals.
