I have the same phone. It's fine. I keep my Pixel phone with GrapheneOS on it at home for banking apps, Briar, and a couple other things. A few things to note:
How is the GPS? Also, can you install apps from F-Droid?
Yeah, F-Droid works. I decided to go with Obtainium. The GPS signal is good enough in my city. The maps app itself is serviceable. It's essentially a UI for OSM data.
I see. Then this looks like a phone I would want. Though the phones I usually use are around $150-200 so the price is kinda high for me. However if the replaceable battery is common, it might worth the price.
Which ones do you use?
Well, it's the same since I started using my first Android phone. Whatever the cheap option I can install a custom ROM. My last 3 phones were Google Nexus 5X, Lenovo K6 Power (normally wouldn't buy this but Nexus 5X died in 2 years), and Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (current one and using it for less than 2 years).
