Hi all!
My company is kinda forcing me to ditch my perfectly working android 12 phone (S10e) due to not supporting passkeys (so MS authenticator will refuse to let you pass that step).
Of course they’ll finance the purchase of a new device (up to a point). I’m interested in having a small phone that could have an intune work profile either in Grapheneos (unlikely), or LineageOS.
What would you suggest?
Edit - sorry I’m realizing the way i phrased this might meant it would NEED to have lineage or gos support. While this is something I’d really appreciate, my S10e has been running all this time without any of that, and what i really appreciate/need is a small phone of similar size. Any extras are welcome.
Check out the Unihertz Jelly phones, they have 2 or 3 models now.
Not sure how much of your requirements they meet, but they’re small and I’m pretty sure on current versions of Android.
Alternatively, any phone running Lineage with standard Google Play services should work fine (or maybe even microG). Pixel 5 with Lineage and Play Services is a similar size to your S10 and should work.
Alternatively - use their money to buy a new, sought-after device. Use it for now while you look for a used device you really want for this use-case. Get that device working as needed, switch to it, sell the brand new device.
Personally I’d never use a device for both work and personal. Too easy for their to be problems, or get personal data mixed with work, etc.
