  As long as they have basic shit like NFC or wireless charging. One of the main reasons I stopped buying them. 2nd was the tablet sized screens.

    Because its grapheneos you will likely have NFC, but whether you have tap-for-payment options will be a crapshoot, especially in North America, unless having an official vendor changes things with grapheneos’s play store integrity issue (which is doubtful).

      Best shot is that EU will make it possible, as they distance themselves from US tech right now.

        Its an issue that, currently, banks have to resolve by either developing (see certain EU banks that have done so) or supporting an NFC card management app that doesn’t require the highest level of the google play security thing to function.

        I doubt EU legislation can fix this, and I doubt Canadian banks will care enough to do anything to support anything beyond apple pay and google pay.

      Tap to pay is whatever but I do use NFC for some home automatons.

        What you use for home automation if you’re into open source and security?

        I can’t imagine grapheneos shipping on a phone without NFC.

        …I wish I had the money to play with homeassistant for random things.

    I quite like my Razr. I’m sure if they’re aiming to be a true alternative to the mainstream OSs, they’ll be including many of the mainstream features

    I’m old school, I remember when NFC was used for stuff like domotics

  One of the largest complaints of Pixels I’ve seen is that they’re too expensive. These will cost twice as much.
