Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone

  Never used this feature. I think this sort of QOL feature is something I’d be happy to wait on. The ecosystem doesn’t need this to launch at least imo.

    You are part of a infinitesimally small group of people. The vast majority need banking and NFC. It’s basically the two single most important features for the vast majority of people using cell phones with GPS maps being the closest third.

      No the vast majority of people really don’t need this. The feature can be nice to have. If you don’t have it you’ll go around tapping your credit card like normal. That’s how I see most people around me make payments.

      You could make the argument that not having these bells and whistles can make your platform seem less attractive and to an extent that might be true but I think you’re missing the point.

      No one said Linux phones should launch and be immediately competitive with android/apple flagship products day one.

      People who care enough about FOSS and privacy have ample reason to accept the trade off of not having some of these niche features.
