My next phone will almost certainly be two phones. One cheap and super standard Android phone to just run banking apps and similar that insists on Google Play etc. Locked down and boring, turned off most of the time. Then a second phone for everything else (terminal with sshd, emacs, emulators, media players ... the stuff that allows a phone to be the general purpose computer it should be).

Looks increasingly unlikely that there will be convenient ways to have the best of both those worlds in a single device. For now it is somewhat possible with Android, but the experience keeps getting worse.

After just submitting my recent post --- I do like your suggestion.

Maybe 2 phones are the way forward.

Maybe a PAYG phone which stays at home on my network for particular needs like banking.

Then a standard phone which is essentially a GNU/Linux distro.... mmm... Emacs on my phone sounds lovely!

Meanwhile, you can use it in termux if you are on android right now.
