Dedicated phone for mapping? (lemdro.id)

Does anyone here have a phone/device just for mapping? A lot of the mapping I’m doing now is updating details of already mapped items.

I was thinking of getting a cheap secondhand android phone to use just for mapping. I’d also love to use StreetComplete again!

And be tethered to a cable all the time? In my case, the GPX recording phone is in my backpack (where there's also a powerbank) and the main phone is for listening to music and taking photos without the annoying cable in the way all the time.
