I’ve got a Xiaomi 11T Pro with almost all bloat removed. VPN is on all the time and I use very strict DNS settings. I only keep it at home as a banking phone.
Should I go and buy a new one now, or can I keep using this since I don’t use it for anything else?
And only my WiFi.
I don’t know what a banking phone is (or at-least what you mean by it) but it is generally advised to only use devices that are currently/actively supported.
If you can afford another device, you should get a new one. If not, I guess how you’re using it is the best way to go about so keep it simple going forward too.
Yes, I suppose so. Since it’s your secondary phone and you don’t use it every day, it should be fine to keep it for at least a few years, unless some critical security issues are found in Android 15.
We don’t use key code lists here anymore; instead, all confirmations are done with the mobile app.
I’m still not sure what you mean but okay.
GOS won’t operate with my bank app, and I see this as the lesser evil compared to lowering security settings so it would work.
Did you try it in another profile with play services installed and enabled?
I think you can keep it, as long as you keep it for banking ONLY, won’t surf the web, download new apps and games, etc.
Just have to make sure the bank’s app gets updated as needed.
Yes, I think I tried it, but it’s been a while. I need to try it again.
