I am considering changing to an open source smartphone. However there are some apps that I must have, like authenticator, mobile bank and government apps. Does anyone have any experience with any of these brands, what are they like and also is it possible to install android apps?

Yeah, the infrastructure just isn't there yet, and with the difficulty being reported on models I haven't tried, I'm not willing to jump into any of the current options.

Even the pine phone I got to play around with for a few days was prone to connection issues, and that's a bit of a dealbreaker
