Both my banking apps work on graphene. There's a list of ones that work floating around.

I use graphene and the banking app I use works fine (Revolut)

Do any of them even support stuff like banking apps? I haven't looked into it much personally because I always hear that you can't use critical apps like that on alternative OSes.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you and do you ever use your phone to watch a video or play games?

Lol, this shit is so cancer, why did 5 of you cocksuckers feel the need to downvote this innocuous question?

Both? Plus getting a flat back. Just in general it makes more room for things.

For battery capacity, or ergonomics?

Nice. I have no desire to carry a tablet around in my pocket. So tired of these massive phones. These things are supposed to be portable.

I've been begging for thicker phones for years

LOL are you me? I've only used Pixels since the 4a because the most important thing about any phone has become removing spyware and AI bullshit, and generally being under my control. And for that reason I don't buy anything else.

But GOS has very high hardware standards that a small OEM could probably never meet. The best they can do is give it an unlocked bootloader and leave it up to the community.

Otherwise the name is apt. There's very little separating modern smartphones especially the crazy high end ones. This seems like it would be "Enough" to do what people need to do.

That's made by a Chinese company that breaks gpl by not releasing the kernel source. There are custom Roms for it but they're based on a binary blob that can't be adjusted.

There's also 3 inch Unihertz Jelly Star. Did anyone actually bought it?

A Sony compact from 2016 didn’t have to house today’s hardware.

Neither does the Enough. The proposed CPU is low-mid range and there's only one rear camera.

looks like degoogled & modified aosp with a minimalistic approach

Any phone today is larger and thicker than my Samsung S4 from 2014. Any phone today would also outperform it by orders of magnitude.

This Enough phone doesn't look any thicker than many phones today.

Unfortunately a headphone jack is required by a small subset of users, just like small phones. So wanting a small phone and a headphone jack is an even smaller subset of users.

Though I think Unihertz does headphone jacks even on their Jelly phones.

Unihertz also understands that phone width is a bigger issue than thickness (they probably have some ratio they've determined works). I can't reach across my Pixel 5 one-handed.

Edit: from their own website, the Enough phone is less than 12mm thick. That's on the thicker side, but not world-ending thick.

Will it run Graphene? Lineage? Calyx?

With the pure derp of Google my primary deciding factor is support for alternative OS images.

The idea sounds good, but it's considerably thicker than a Sony X Compact from 2016, and it doesn't have a headphone jack (the Sony did). I use the headphone jack.

Bro wins

Fair enough. It is unfortunate that the market has moved to very large phones.

Yeah... But i guess the fairphone quite misses the mark regarding... Small size. I already own a very bulky Pixel 9 pro fold. Hence the reason for... As small as possible.

damn does anything work there? i played around cm7 on motorola droid back in 2023, there was practically nothing to do lol

If your company requires you to have a phone, let them buy you a cheap phone. A use iPhone from a few years ago, like a 14 or 15 non-pro model. Make a throwaway iCloud account and schedule DND mode to match your home hours. Toss it on your nightstand or kitchen counter or backpack or whatever when you get home.

Don't fuck with custom ROMs when it comes to work devices. Make work provide you with a work device and let that be the end of it. It's not worth the hassle, and most if not all IT depts will not understand a custom ROM when it comes to troubleshooting issues.

My secondary is on 2.3.6. I think I win.

People are sheep

No me gusta.

Check out the Unihertz Jelly phones, they have 2 or 3 models now.

Not sure how much of your requirements they meet, but they're small and I'm pretty sure on current versions of Android.

Alternatively, any phone running Lineage with standard Google Play services should work fine (or maybe even microG). Pixel 5 with Lineage and Play Services is a similar size to your S10 and should work.

Alternatively - use their money to buy a new, sought-after device. Use it for now while you look for a used device you really want for this use-case. Get that device working as needed, switch to it, sell the brand new device.

Personally I'd never use a device for both work and personal. Too easy for their to be problems, or get personal data mixed with work, etc.
