That stuff had been on my mind for way too long.

I was considering getting a USB-C - jack dongle, but they seemed annoying to carry around, and I wanted to avoid potential damage to the USB-C port by plugging it in and out multiple times per day (USB-C still seems finicky to me for some reason)

Also, I always like to have a backup device so that I'm not locked out of everything in case something happens to my primary phone.

The device is nice so far, really impressive for the price (got it for 180€ second hand with 1 year guarantee at a second hand shop).

I see it more as a connected music/video player than anything else, and for that it serves it purpose perfectly.

I'm a capt' three phones at the moment

While I've had my backup Samsung M12 with a 1pmobile SIM in my work locker for a couple of years now simply as an emergency backup, I'm also currently rocking two Xiaomi's so I can test remote connections to a family members server via work WiFi/Tailscale.

My main issue is while I wear cargo pants at work, carrying two phones is more wieldy than you'd think and there's also something else I did notice the other day with the Find My Device news.

I forgot where, I left my main phone the other day and my locker is a literal Faraday cage according to FMD? 10 minutes of panic :/
