I am considering changing to an open source smartphone. However there are some apps that I must have, like authenticator, mobile bank and government apps. Does anyone have any experience with any of these brands, what are they like and also is it possible to install android apps?

    All of the open source phones I’m aware of barely function. I mean like they can barely make phone calls, and receive text messages. Much less last throughout the day.

    I have a pine 64, and I would put it into the hobby toy category, not a everyday carry device.

    Asking for a totally open phone, and the ability to run critical Android apps, we’re not there yet. Maybe in 20 years
