Note that Orgzly Revived and Orgro are both in the f-droid main repo. You can get apps in a trustworthy free-software-compatible way. While these two apps on Google Play should be fine, in general the Play store is full of malware (defined as any code that acts contrary to your interests), and f-droid main is vastly better in that resepect.

My usage is disjoint from my normal org files. I have a few foo.org on my phone, edited mostly only there. This is mostly note taking, but also I will create a custom todo list for a project and check things off, when there are so many little things that going back to the computer is annoying. As for emacs, I have run emacs in termux and it works just fine. The only problem is that you are typing in a terminal. If you have a bluetooth or other external keyboard, and a magnifying glass this can be fine. If you don't have a real keyboard, then I strongly recommend "Unexpected Keyboard" which lets you type the full ASCII character set and many beyond-ASCII characters (e.g. EUish latin-1 letters), control, meta. However, even though I could run real org in emacs, I find that Orgzly's UI is easier, with touch to fold/unfold, to locate, cut/paste nicely integrated with Android. Even with Orgzly, or anything else, I still strongly prefer Unexpected Keyboard. I haven't really tried Orgro and should. Orgzly is meeting my needs to keep notes (on a variety of subjects, hierarchical, normal org practice) sufficiently well that I haven't been motivated. This discussion is making me want to try though. Overall, I would say try Orgzly Revived and if you find limitations frustrating try realorg-emacs-termux. It really depends on what you're doing and how you feel about adapting to tools vs forcing tools your way, and the resulting total effort and comfort.
