I agree, Android phones will not have a chance at being successful unless it has a translation layer to run Android apps.
I know things like that exist, but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to having a high compatibility.
Unfortunately with security apps like banking, being able to run android apps is only one of the roadblocks.
Although, maybe the banks website could word reasonably well in a browser. But, the mobile wallet apps would be a problem I bet.
Some banks require you to have a phone app now. I know mine is app only.
I know I can do the web for basics stuff, but I need the apps to make payment with qr-codes.
I can only check transactions. Any actions require the app.
Mine doesn't even care if the phone is rooted, and most of the stuff can be done via a web interface. On the flip side of the coin, this shithole has SMS as the only available "2FA" method
