It can run Android apps!
Yeah, I know. But it's still a different platform, lol.
I booked it too btw. Initially I thought 95.something€ was the full price. Now I'm unsure if I will continue since my phone is only 2 years old (although I dislike where Google is heading Android and Sailfish looks sick af)
What's the percent of apps on fdroid that run?
Sweet. I'm even more tired of Google's shit than Microsoft's. Apple's locked down ecosystem is even worse, though, so here I am.
I'd love for this to be my last ever Android phone, but I need some apps for work. (And I'd prefer being able to play some mobile-OS-exclusive games, but that's not a dealbreaker.)
A proper open-source phone that works as a phone reliably (on bands the only reliable carrier in my part of Canada uses), can run my short list of must-have apps, and that can take decent photos (doesn't even need to be great)... That's the dream, right?
Yeah, my main thing is being able to pay with it. Sadly basically all banks have only support for either Google or Apple Wallet and I'm not sure if Google Wallet work with MicroG since it didn't even work with actual GPServices on a custom rom
I imagine it might be possible to fully spoof another phone model for specific apps. Seems like the kind of thing that should be technically possible by copying cryptographic keys from other devices, and then using root system access to spoof "correct" responses from the Android APIs.
I also imagine this will be an important feature for a lot of users, so someone is likely going to do the work to get it working if Linux phones become (otherwise) viable Android phone replacements.
But all this is just speculation!
Yeah fingers crossed. I'd really like for this to be able to serve as a daily driver
Just use a card or cash, IMO having your phone be the only thing you pay with is a risk if it gets stolen.
Its not the only thing, but it is very convenient since I have it with me anyway if I go shopping, because I listen to music instead of the screeching noises of ten thousand families and children. And I rarely carry cash
