alt Hacker NewsWhich dumb phone? I would like to try similar, but there are always certain Android apps I need (banking apps like BankID, payment apps). Do you get a "pure" dumb phone and then a separate Android device for when it's required, or a dumb phone which does a little bit of Androiding?

I was happy to discover that both BankID, Swish and Handelsbanken are all fine with rooted android devices. Hence it's possible to get a degoogled phone and delete all apps that aren't required, such as a web browser and play store.
I got a Mudita Kompakt for similar reasons, I can sideload the few apps that I really need. The one I use the most is Kiwix, as I've downloaded the entirety of english wikipedia, so I can basically look anything up (useful when reading) without requiring an internet connection. I also have signal on there. I really like it and it's my dedicated phone now.
