And the n6000 was released in June 2023

Notebook check has its usual thorough review and it's downside is it's camera which is not a concern and lack of android security patches which is a slight concern

Not when you live in the sticks far from offices where you pay bills and do your banking. I have setup phone with all the protection available for Android so feel as safe as I can be using on line banking.

I have a minimal trust in android and its app sandboxing which is why I want a separate phone to use only for the banking and government identity apps and then WiFi connect it to my normal phone when it requires internet connectivity
