GrapheneOS is nice, and a way to keep your phone going even longer. Also supereasy to install.
I'd go with the pixel. Even if they might be the worst on battery life ๐ค
Easy 24+ hour on a pixel with graphene for me. OP may not tolerate loss of tap to pay functions, though.
I use tap to pay? ๐ค A lot of bank apps do support grapheneos, but it is worth checking
Yea, is usually good enough battery life for most ppl
What banking apps support contactless payment?
eh I got something called vipps? it is a different app yes - sry
and paypal seems to work https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/22297-paypal-tap-to-pay-coming/16
Interesting, I didn't realize that was part of DMA. Does that apply to Google/Android as well? And will it work outside of the EU? (probably not).
Not sure about paypal, since it's a trial thing - but there are more apps listed on the banking list https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/privsec.dev/blob/main/content/posts/android/Banking%20Applications%20compatibility%20with%20GrapheneOS.md
"iCard" seems to have nfc payments f.ex and is listed as international
Yeah but this is a "banking list", which is a different thing entirely from a "contactless payment compatibility" list.
yes, which is why I wrote that several of the apps here got that. it's banking list with all sorts of money apps. if you take a look you'll notice several are not bank apps. The apps that have contactless payment options here should work is the point.
I have no idea what kind of apps they are. iCard seems to be some kind of CC app that uses Google Pay.
What do you mean, going longer? GrapheneOS stops updates the same moment google does, AFAIK.
