I have been thinking this for some time, why not just have a certified burner phone or tablet and then a free phone as your main?
Realistically most of us have to install shitty insecure apps to survive in this modern world, but that doesn't mean all our personal data and stuff has to be on the same device.
For the cost of one brand new top model phone, you could probably get a low-mid certified device and a decent Fairphone or equivcalent.
Sometimes even just one phone is too much.
I only have so many pockets. I prefer to travel light and without a bag if possible
Sounds like you should invest in additional pockets. They're pretty great.
Honestly, even if you weren't going to use the extra space for a second phone, you should invest in less-limited pocket space.
Doesn't matter the amount. If there's to much weight in my pockets as a whole it just sucks. I ain't cosplaying as an early 00s movie hacker.
Haha, fair!
