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 i activate the 2FA, my banking app doesnt seem to care if playstore is installed.
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.
