Thanks again for everyone on the forum for suggestions for alternative to specific apps. Very useful! Personally, I don't need Google apps per se (i.e. Gmail, etc.) and am happy to change my habits.

Still there are a handful of proprietary apps that I would need/want in order to make the A5 my only phone: Uber, Spotify, a couple of newspapers I subscribe to, the SNCF app (I'm in France)... I suppose if the app doesn't work there is still the option to create a shortcut to the webpage.

I would also need to be able to have an Exchange account (my work account) where I have all my emails, contacts and agenda. But I guess that's not a problem...
