pixels are fine, just put graphineOS on there.

only gripes I have are mapping apps are slow to initialize. i don't drive uber tho, so it's not terribly inconvenient

The software is the differentiator these days with all the flagship hardware being basically the same.

I would love to de-Google, but I need my banking apps, tap-to-pay and Android Auto and a top-quality camera that just works flawlessly.

If Graphene can do all of those I'll move, but the friction is high, I have passkeys and apps that have to be "migrated" such as banking apps, and various other stuff that is nigh impossible without a second device.

  • You get all of that except tap to pay in America. In Europe, you get all of them.

    Practically all banking apps are supported, and they have a thorough list so you can check beforehand.

    • Thanks for that. I just looked up the banking app list and all of my (UK) banks are supported.

      What's the alternative to Google Wallet for tap to pay and loyalty cards?
