LL Expects to release the first beta somewhere at the end of 2023, early 2024.
Here is an update from LL.
It looks promising IMHO.

My understanding is that Crystal Frost will be a Unity-based viewer (which will allow it to run on Android as well as windows) whereas (I'm guessing) the SL mobile viewer will be a dedicated android app.Because of my slight eye problems, I will most likely never use an SL smart phone app, but Christal Frost looks cool indeed.
But I guess the LL viewer will be free of charge when it is launched, if they want it to become successful.
C'mon LL, I'm techy AND a Lifetime Resident, just treat me as if I was FIC and let me test the android builds.We got an update on new alpha builds, "published" a few days ago.

Mobile Update: April 2024 - new builds, avatar updates!
New Android and iOS Alpha builds were published Wednesday, April 3rd. We’ve been working hard for the last two months and are excited to share some major steps forward for the mobile client -- correctly displaying avatars and teleport improvements have been at the top of the list.

Looks like they've put some work in on the display of avatars using shape deformers.
These days alpha and beta testing is used to make an extra buck on the side, almost everywhere in the gaming industry.C'mon LL, I'm techy AND a Lifetime Resident, just treat me as if I was FIC and let me test the android builds.
I used to have some T shirts with a big FIC logo you could wear to the Linden Meetings.C'mon LL, I'm techy AND a Lifetime Resident, just treat me as if I was FIC and let me test the android builds.
The virtual joystick is far too sensitive.Right now I find movement...difficult.
Yes, I had the exact same experience, on a low end Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.My avatar looks OK (when it's on screen!) - my mesh body and clothing and other attachments and so on look as I expect. Except anything showing skin is pretty much black. No texture, nothing. Just black.
Yes, exactly like that. Valentina E outfit? CC likes.Here's a screenshot from the viewer (running it on a Pixel 7a):
