It seems, there are not many Quintus running Ubuntu Touch out there and since I have been asked about working features I thought I'd make an entry here for those who are interested.
Since there's no Quintus sub section, yet I write it here until it can be moved to its according place.
I took this list from the Ubuntu Touch device page.
I don't have the device for a very long time, so I will update things marked "untestet" (❓).

Reboot not always working. The screen turns off but it doesn't come back again. Hard reboot is necessary.
Bluetooth earphones work. The USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that came with the phone works, too. Another one I tested does not work. So this depends on hardware.
When listening to Music in the Music App, sometimes sound goes completely down on switching tracks. Same happens occasionally when switching position in the video app.
In some cases, but especially after the container has been frozen, Waydroid does not start again after having been closed/stopped. The only workaround working for me is running
systemctl restart waydroid-container
in the terminal (sometimes twice). Then Waydroid will start again.
