Disappointing.
I bought one of their phones nearly a year ago. The UI was... Not great, IMO, but I was able to re-skin it. The SD card slot was the biggest reason for me. Well, now I know taht my next phone is going to be a Pixel with Graphene installed.
Yes, come over to the dark side. I haven't had any issues so far, except for the whiplash it is to go from YouTube I scrolled for hours every day to using NewPipe which takes two seconds to load a new video. It has made me very mindful of what I want to watch because from searching to watching I need to wait like 10 seconds.
Haven't dipped my toes into banking apps though. Thats a frontier I'll deal with when I get to it.
Haven't tried NewPipe yet. I currently use YouTube for specific videos, and I'm usually operating it from a private tab in my browser through a VPN, rather than the app. (So far I'm not getting served ads that way, although sometimes I have to skip to different countries to get around sign-in nags.)
Banking apps are the one thing that worries me. My prior bank didn't allow rooted phones to be used for online banking; I haven't made an attempt with my current phone. Given that I now live in a... Rather remote part of the country, access to online banking is fairly important.
Would a website know if you're using a rooted phone? I don't think so. Banking apps are different, they might have access to device details but I thought browsers were device agnostic.
The problem is that the website doesn't allow some of the critical features that the app allows, such as depositing checks. IIRC there are a few things that I was trying to do--link accounts for payments, I think?--where I had to use the banking app.
It is really worrying how a traditionally lethargic service, banking, is also moving to non-privacy respecting methods. I thought we'd be able to fix this internet panopticon shitshow before banks moved fully to apps.
