Suntimes (foss) for sunrise/sunset. Shows when is golden hour, which is useful for photography.

Windy for weather, i bought premium which costs 1€/month but provides hourly updates on weather.

OsmAnd+ (free) for offline maps. Kind of steep learning curve, but is the most feature rich app I used. You can turn on to show publicly available hiking/biking routes from national parks, plan a route, etc. I used it for hikes and was able to locate water filling stations, cafes, even when internet was not available. Really helpful to plan your walks without needing an account.

Revolut for banking, best currency exchange rates and affordable eSIM in same app. I use it on first day on arrival before I get local sim if i need one, you get 100 mb for free, so its enough to text your booking on first day. Bring separate bank card in case ATM swallows your main card so youre not left stranded with no means to pay.

why do i need to hear about Kacapstan, they’re irrelevant

Op7pro user here too. Its been 4 years already and at this point im just going to keep using this phone until its unbearable to use. Ive dunked it in river, smashed many back covers. At this point its not about being sustainable or something, but im genuinely interested how long can i withstand replacement. I dont mind having no 5g,since 4g with full bars is pretty fast already. All these phones currently in the market would be very incremental upgrade, unless you’re going flagship range which is around 1k. I want to see smaller phones to come back. Sadly, phone manufacturers are pushing foldables, so it very rare to see any smaller than 5.5" phone for sale. If i were to upgrade now, probably id choose asus zenfone 9/10, pixel 8 with all these promissed 7 year updates.

Usually its holding start and stop buttons for a few seconds

Rocking op7pro too here. Changed back covers 5 times already, swapped battery for a new one. Never owned a phone for that long and I have no intention on buying a new one.
