          Hi @HEROBRINE7GAMER. I'm happy with the Fairphone 2 (FP2). It's a bit old now but does what I need. The only real issue I have is the torch & camera flash not working. šŸ“±

          How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

            The OP5 is a great device and I can run my UK banking apps through Waydroid without many issues via Aurora store.

              @lakotaubp Is this without google services or magisk root hide? Regarding your bank app ?

                I have picked up OnePlus 3/3T's for not a lot and they also are fine for my uses,

                I've flashed one and yes, it's quite usable, especially for the price... but note that it does not currently record video as far as I know.

                Is currently using an Op5t
                Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                    @lakotaubp So either your bank apps, does not need signature spoofing , or does your bank app only search for google login?

                    Oh wait , there is a built in spoof manager in the aurora store?

                              @opolork the fairphone 2 is a very nice device but it is just old and the battery is not good enough for daily usage .

                                  @herobrine7gamer It depends on your usage - mine is very little. But fair enough. šŸ‘‹

                                    I have the camera module that's not working. The other module works alright.

                                          @keneda i prefer not to say , but where i live we don't really have much linux and privacy enthusiasts , and for phones there are almost no oneplus or google pixel devices in any store .

                                              well my usage is also little , i would use my phone to call and receive emails and read rss feeds and watching videos , but the most important thing is the camera , i can't use a phone with a bad camera at all , so i would really like a device with a great camera , but i heard that ubuntu touch has problems with camera and taking photos and videos .
