Yes but I don't use banking apps. I haven't had much problems on the lower android version either (9) but custom ROM would solve that problem. Its way faster than those Mediatek G25 or P25 or whatever cheap phones. Screen is very good looki...

Do you still use it as a main phone (potentially with banking apps?) I'm just curious
