I had to do this just the other day. Hospital wanted to use a third party stuff for a sleep monitor. Talk about an invasive app!
Fine, you go on this phone that was never used by me, that's been wiped and had lineage installed.
Thanks! Lots to check out here. It's 128GB tho, so the entire Wikipedia dump will sadly not be possible ... hahaha The "useful useless app" phone might be the way to go. Other than that I was also thinking about using it as a dedicated (offline) media player
Wikipedia dump from kiwix is 111gb and there are smaller versions with only popular articles or specific languages
https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&category=wikipedia
Full Wikipedia without photos or video is about half the size.
I use the web version rather than the app, but I want to say the app can store the library on the SD card if you have one of sufficient size lying around and if the Redmi has the slot for one. But as someone else said, there are smaller versions you can download if you can't fit the full one.
Not trying to push Kiwix on you, but I just can't emphasize enough how handy it is to have offline Wikipedia always on hand.
I second Meshtastic. I haven't checked since the Android app rebuild but the old version worked on my Galaxy S5
