Flash Kali Nethunter to the phone. Check that Nethunter supports monitor mode and packet injection on the WiFi interface with or without Nexmon. Otherwise, make sure that you can use some USB adapter. Android is a phone platform and thus hardly ideal for pentesting. My WiFi Pineapple isn't exactly as convenient, but it's much simpler.

A pwnagotchi then. Stock Android doesn't have the permissions or drivers. Don't just give an explanation of your reasons here.

Does your phone support monitor mode?
I think only nexus 5 has that

As you should know, you can't capture handshakes or PMKIDs without monitor mode. This would be your only option then: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6220717.

If you're doing this discreetly, then don't call it a pentest.
