Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.

Anyways just wanted to share.

    Why do you feel the need to have a banking app? They tend to be super invasive and can’t do much you can’t do online.

      Eh, when people say they’re ‘super invasive’ what they usually mean is that they can’t run it on their rooted android phone running LineageOS or have to go through various hoops to get it to work. Turns out, banking is pretty important to keep secure so yeah these apps will have checks in place to make sure you aren’t faking your location or using a modified APK that they can’t detect. I’m pretty happy with that restriction given the convenience of being able to manage payments etc in a decent-enough native app. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        In my experience they half-arse it though. For example on GrapheneOS (which is considered significantly more secure than default Android) several banking apps block access because they use some questionable Google Play API which doesn’t recognise GrapheneOS.
