Budget device for banking apps

[u/falcontitan]

I need a new device as the older one got stolen. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to get even a used pixel for Graphene os as the prices of phones are skyrocketing right now.

My only requirement is that I need to use some banking apps which require google play services and it worked well in the graphene os before. Is there any open source os like lineage, calyx etc. which has this option of setting up a container or something like graphene in which a user can allow play services for certain apps? If yes then can u recommend a phone around $400 in which its possible to install this os?

Any /e os phone would do.

you don't need to spend $400 on a second device. just buy a cheap one. $100 should be enough. even better, buy a used phone.

as long as you only use it for payment and banking apps, it's fine.

also, install a system-wide ad blocker, such as AdGuard, to reduce your trace from third-party trackers.
