A notable mention is https://ubports.com/en/ which is different from postmarketos in a sense that ubports uses old kernels with heavy patches. That means: good support for things, but difficult future.

PostmarketOS uses the newest kernels and tries to integrate their patches into mainline kernel, so that the reliability is maintained with all kernel developers.

I am sorely tempted, but its unlikely my banking apps and very specific work 2fa app is anything but Apple and Android compatible. I am almost at the stage of getting a second phone for day to day, and keeping my old for specific apps

You should consider changing bank if they don't provide a regular website with at least the same functions as their app.

Most banks these days need their app as well to log in to their website because of forced two factor authentication

just give us a headphone jack and removable storage and you'll have a customer for life.

I wouldn't mind easily swappable batteries

Good specs for the price. No headphone jack tho.

True, but replaceable everything. And as sustainable (environmentally and socially) as smartphones come.

Xperia 1 VI?

Government should make standards for banks to support different operating systems. Not particularly well known OS.

Be nice if Linux phones could be like how Samsung phones used to be before they started removing features to directly compete with Apple smartwatch markets. I don't understand how competition=downgrades because they wanna stretch features out to sell more products than how it used to be when both companies were all about being the One Phone That Does it All. I can afford the one gadget, always have and always will, but especially now when everything is so expensive I can only ever afford the Samsung A-Series not their main marketed S line.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

But, do you ever need anything more than a A series phone? Or just want?

I mean I've been using /e/os for a while now and it works like a charm!

[–] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm so sad it doesn't seem to work with my country's digital solutions or I would've switched right away :(

[–] PussButton@lemmy.org 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Like you can't get to their site?

[–] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 1 points 5 days ago

The integration for the apps like digital ID don't work at all

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

Cool, does it run on a Galaxy Xcover6 Pro with a Verizon plan? I bet it doesn't, nothing does besides the big-2 OS's it seems.

Cool, does it run on a Galaxy S10 series phone?
