Is this even possible?
Yes, it is!
Undoubtedly, Android Phones are the most accessible devices one can get their hands on. Apart from Colaboratory Notebooks which provide a web-interfact to run your Python Notebooks, It still requires the use of internet and dealing with Colab on Mobile Browsers is tedious compared to the UI of Jupyter Notebooks that one gets comfortable with easily.

Finally,
Run your first notebook cell, and enjoy coding on your new portable Jupyter Machine...!
