Afaik bankid will actually run as long as you can install play store (IE the device don't need Google certificate), which isn't great but a little bit better than what it could have been.

That can't be right. My onyx boox note air 2 eInk tablet lets me install the google play store by registering myself as an AOSP developer and enrolling my device's serial number or GSF identifier with Google using some Google Form that some android team somewhere's automated by now. The device has no hardware security features from what I can tell. There's no way this platform would pass muster with any bank.

  • I have the successor device, the Boox Note Air 2, and don't remember how I installed Google Play on it, it was so easy as to be not even notable. Though almost everything I use is available on F-Droid other than my fancy calendar and contacts applications.
