    Never used the stock rom on it, purchased it, turned it on, and immediately flashed it. BUT compared to my last “normal” android? (Smasnug- I’ll never NOT call them that thanks to a certain Aussie on YT) No. Nothing. That said I’m middle aged and never even considered using stuff like contactless payments with a phone, etc. Never saw the appeal of increased risk just to look like a douchebag at the checkout aisle or the drive through. Your mileage may vary if you use things like that, I can’t speak to it.

    Only thing I noticed was for my bank’s app, I had to enable “exploit protection compatibility mode” to make it function like it should.

      I use contactless payments on my pixel, that and banking apps in general keep me from trying it.

      Sounds like it might work fine, that’s encouraging.

      tap to pay isn’t more risky, might be less risky depending on how you use it. My understanding is that it uses a one-time number instead of your card information, not unlike using the chip and pin. I’m no expert tho, don’t quote me on that lol
