My current Samsung phone (S23) is struggling real bad. I need to change it. I’ve been focused on privacy lately and learnt about GrapheneOS. This is not really the point of my question. Rather the context.

What is the overall feedback of the Google Pixel 10a? I’m seriously considering it, refurbished. It looks compact enough, has space for a physical sim card…

I hope I’m making the right choice!!

    Tap to pay won’t work at all? I’ve been considering Graphene for when Google locks the OS. I don’t mind installing and running Play Store and Google Wallet, but I hadn’t considered that I might have to go back to ensuring I had my wallet with me every time I left the house.

      Anything that requires “strong” hardware integrity attestation using the Play Integrity API will fail because Google won’t add GrapheneOS and GrapheneOS won’t spoof it.

      So Google wallet /Google pay won’t work. There may be other tap-to-pay apps that I’m not aware of that either use Android’s Integrity API or only require the weaker attestation that’s supported by GrapheneOS.

      Same reason for all the other stuff I mentioned in my previous comment.
