Been using one as my secure phone since Pixel 3. A lot of people I setup for tend to drift back to Googlizing for ease of use. Have to stay strong. 🤣💪

What were the pain points??
Mainly that people are so tied to some or all Google sevices they become like a junkie itching for a fix. Other than that is more expectations need to be managed. Some bank apps won't work (use browser) and learning curve. I have a Fold4 as daily but keep a secured and anonymous GrapheneOS phone for secure comms. Mainly for my clients who are very paranoid and pay me to be for them.
Awesome, any apps that specifically wouldn't work as expected outside banking?
Haven't really encountered any. But do keep minimal to lessen attack surface. Once install have a look at Auditor they provide too. I sideload most apps but have FDroid.
