These are not criticisms of the phone which I liked, the display is better than my old pixel and the android integration is exceptional IMO with only one non-essential app not working for me. I was coming around to the UI though the higher number of clicks and gestures (in some apps) required to achieve similar tasks to android is annoying and something that I assume would be addressed over time.
Deal breakers for me:
- Lack of contactless payments
- VoWifi - I don’t have good mobile coverage at home
- Hardware auth, yubikey specifically which I cannot do without for work
I’m an old(er) Linux user, coming up to 30 years now, and bought the phone on spec after seeing an article about it. It turns out I’m too wedded to my android comforts to put up with these short comings. Suddenly finding i couldn’t pay for fuel whilst out yesterday was the nail in the coffin.
