There is still a 1 second ping to access somebody else's relay running on their phone...
So don't get too excited. Just mildly pumped.

I'd guess most of that time is for establishing the Tor circuit. Are subsequent operations faster?
It could be. Lots of research needed on this.
The ping is similar with VPNs and a SSH reverse tunnel, the bandwidth might be better though.
I'll take a delay to have that level of simplified, but still obfuscated, direct contact.
Yes it take some time to build a circuit but hidden services will always be slower even afterwards since there are not only your hops but also the hidden services ones.
Wait, Wut? What nip magic is this?
Here is how I got #citrine to work as both a local relay and as an exposed onion service as outbox relay on my phone. Thanks to @npub1m64h...uaks for the idea!
Download Citrine and start as local relay
Open Orbot
Tap more
Tap onion hosted services
Tap user services
Tap +
Add any name to service
Add 4869 to both ports
Hit save
Exit from orbot
Restart orbot by closing out or force close
Restart orbot and connect orbot vpn again
Tap hosted services and copy new onion url
Open #Amethyst and go to relays
Add ws://yournewonionaddress. onion:4869 to outbox relay
Remove any other outbox relay
Hit save

If everyone would be running a hidden service on device for there relay, i2p would be superior to tor in this use case.
you guys rock nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vgnostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5
