My current phone (iPhone 13 mini) is telling me to retire it, and I want to get into Graphene. I really dislike that my phone sometimes will just hang while I’m swipe typing and don’t want to buy a new one that has these latency issues. I also don’t want to spend a ton of money.
I was looking at the Pixel 8a which is being sold for $500. Anyone else use it with Graphene? Do you use a swipe keyboard? Any responsiveness issues?
What about storage? Coming from Apple, I can see my current phone using about 64GB with OS + apps. Anyone recently made the transition and can tell me if I can expect this number to grow or shrink?
Thanks a bunch!
Was the banking stuff easy to get working? I’m looking to ditch my iPhone but I also don’t want to spend more than a weekend getting my basics swapped over.
Pretty easy for my bank. My bank has a 2FA, like or not i need the app if i need to do online transaction. Cant do shit with the website.
The stupid thing is, my bank only need playstore app installed when im trying to activate the 2FA. After that, i just delete it.
You can refer bank compatibilty here.

My banking app works, but I stopped using it because it’s bloated garbage (100mb!?)
Instead I use Hermit or Native Alpha to create shortcuts to websites like bank, Amazon, etc. These make websites function like apps, so I don’t need the crappy apps from these places, and have a single app install instead of multiple crappy apps.
