Just look at the PostmarketOS wiki for the supported devices list.
In general there is an Android app compatibility layer called Waydroid that allows running Android apps, but it is similar to a custom rom, i.e. forget about running those security locked down banking apps etc in it.
I run GrapheneOS and the only app I have issues with is Amazon prime cos their DRM complains.
