Can you run LTspice on a cellphone?

BTW... There's a reasonably active Android group... comp.mobile.android Doubtful they would know anything about running electronics design software, but who knows.

There are a few x86-based smartphones like the Asus Zenphone still available using the 32 bit Intel Atom processor that might be able to run the i386 LTSpice using Wine 3.0, unfortunately for Intel the Atom was a bit of a dud as a mobile processor.

Anything Intel Atom should work though, which while unpopular for smartphones now (ok, never really was..) still seems to be used a fair amount in various cheap tablets and other mobile widgets mostly for market in the 3rd world <https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Fusion5-FWIN232-Quad-core-Bluetooth/dp/B07HY8X46F/> Wine 3.0 on the Android-x86 port might let you run LT on that thing, Windows 10S only lets you run Microsoft Store apps no 3rd party. I doubt trying to install any full version of Windows would fly. Also any ChromeOS device using say an Intel Celeron under-the-hood with the Chrome ARC like many Chromebooks and Chrome OS tablets etc should work, like the relatively cheap Acer Spin: <https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Chromebook-Convertible-Bluetooth-CP311-2H-C679/dp/B086MBQKH2/> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_App_Runtime_for_Chrome>
