Im going to be going on vacation and travel in November, and honestly, this is needed. I'm on the lookout for a secondary phone that i can degoogle real quick, put the neccessary apps that i need and just call it a day. I'm already prepping my family and stating that im not gonna bring my primary phone. I was wondering what do you guys use, if any of yall bring a secondary phone. (FYI: I am in the US and will be traveling internationally)

A bit rough around the edges in the ui/ux department. Otherwise if you don't expect much more than Firefox and calls its certainly usable for a daily.

Definitely worth a try on a cheap phone imo.

    That's actually already very good. On my oneplus 6 I didn't even monoge to get calls and camera fully working.

    Camera was working sometimes and when it did it had a strong green hue. Calls were working well, but the secondary microphone for noise cancellation was not used so the sound on the other side was rather bad.

    As I've said, it a bit rough but getting very close to useable for me at least.
