Cool, does it run on a Galaxy Xcover6 Pro with a Verizon plan? I bet it doesn't, nothing does besides the big-2 OS's it seems.

Government should make standards for banks to support different operating systems. Not particularly well known OS.
just give us a headphone jack and removable storage and you'll have a customer for life.
Xperia 1 VI?
I wouldn't mind easily swappable batteries
Check out the Fairphone 5
Good specs for the price. No headphone jack tho.
True, but replaceable everything. And as sustainable (environmentally and socially) as smartphones come.
I am sorely tempted, but its unlikely my banking apps and very specific work 2fa app is anything but Apple and Android compatible. I am almost at the stage of getting a second phone for day to day, and keeping my old for specific apps
You should consider changing bank if they don't provide a regular website with at least the same functions as their app.
Most banks these days need their app as well to log in to their website because of forced two factor authentication
Ah yes, so easy. Just change banks bro.
Sometimes I wonder if there are any acual adults using Linux. Lol
The new bank will happily organise anything for you, and if not, it is not the right bank, because they clearly don’t want you as customer, like this.
Customer support generally gets worse as you are longer at the same bank because you are more and more less likely to switch your bank staying at a bank. They invest in the customers they see risks of loosing or see a change of winning the most.
Actually, what is hard about changing banks? I give my bank info to as few entities as possible. And almost all of them would take a few clicks and possibly a few days to verify some tiny transaction and I would be done. Changing credit cards is far harder. But also. Why are you using the banks app on your phone. That phone is probably the least secure electronic you own. The attack surface on that thing is absolutely huge.
Have you considered that maybe not everyone is like you?
We are all unique, just like everyone else.
But it was a serious question actually. Probably doesn't read that way though. I'm on the older side, so I might not know about what the kids are doing with thier bank accounts these days.
It could be up to hours of mild inconvenience!
I mean I've been using /e/os for a while now and it works like a charm!
I'm so sad it doesn't seem to work with my country's digital solutions or I would've switched right away :(
Like you can't get to their site?
The integration for the apps like digital ID don't work at all
Be nice if Linux phones could be like how Samsung phones used to be before they started removing features to directly compete with Apple smartwatch markets. I don't understand how competition=downgrades because they wanna stretch features out to sell more products than how it used to be when both companies were all about being the One Phone That Does it All. I can afford the one gadget, always have and always will, but especially now when everything is so expensive I can only ever afford the Samsung A-Series not their main marketed S line.
But, do you ever need anything more than a A series phone? Or just want?
