Are you sure the bank apps would work many more years without security updates ? I am asking since Android 10 don’t receive security updates for some months already.
I understand your problem but if it is like in my case, I can still use a hard key to log in in my bank app. Is it impossible in your case ? One of my bank apps still works with the fingerprint reader so it is not only about the OS.
Hi,
if LOS manages it, to declare the fingerprint sensor as “strong”, then Fairphone should be able to do the same. Better they provide such an edition as “unofficial official” (i.e. not certified by Google), than breaking usability of fingerprint sensor.
If I would have the choice between “official A11” and “unofficial A13 by Fairphone”, then I’d choose the latter one.

Lineage OS doesn’t have to care about Google certification, Fairphone has. So i don’t think this is a thinkable solution.
In a couple of months the first choice would be “official but unsupported A11”. Android 11 was released September 2020 and each major version is typically supported for 3 years, maybe 3.5 which means there won’t be any security updates anymore roughly by the end of this year or even earlier.
Which is a problem for people who use their phones for work where the company policy requires the phones to have a “recent” security patch level (in my company “recent” equals one year, but we had people here on the forum where it’s only a few months) and probably also an “official” ROM.
As we have a seperate topic now with FP statement and this here is marked solved I will close.
