    If only those worked on more devices. They’re great, but severely limit what phone you can buy if you want to use them.

      Also losing camera quality and banking apps/NFC payment sucks. Absolutely not the fault of LineageOS though, they’re doing the best they can within the constraints.

        Banking apps seem to be hit and miss, though fortunately mostly hit. I’ve read stories, but personally never had any trouble with them. Sometimes they complain about the lack of gapps shit but somehow still work.

          Thank you for saying this. I feel like there’s so much goddamn fear-mongering about this from people that have never tried it.

          I’ve been running Lineage for years across 3 different phones, the banking apps worked fine

            No fear-mongering here, I ran LineageOS for years as a daily driver and these were the problems I encountered. Your mileage may vary.

      Yea. The only Pixels affordable new are the ones that are already out of support :( And they’re huge, I need to be able to use a phone with one hand!

      I wish Google made their equivalent of Iphone SE - smaller in size and price.
