I initially considered that, but in the end I just bit the bullet and got one 2 weeks ago.

My thought is with the current trend of PC hardware prices, I didn’t want to wait to see how it affects phone prices.

At the same time, I do not know if the collaborative phone between GOS and the manufacturer will be something I like. The current Pixel 10 phone is already bigger than what I ultimately prefer and I think it’s more probable the new phone will be phablet sized.

Definitely. It didn’t help that the application I am using doesn’t support having a custom data storage location.

Very interesting. I was cpnsidering using separate profiles, but I read somewhere that google services is sandboxed anyway, so having it all in 1 profile is fine.

What I will need a separate profile for though, is for banking apps. I have one which is adament that I use a keyboard app from the play store and will refuse to function if I have one from F-droid installed.

Congrats. I too also moved to GOS a little over a week ago. Found out a few of the apps fromy old phone no longer work as intended and I’m now discovering the security restrictions of Android 13 is making syncing of files in the Android/data folder very difficult.
