No NFC? I guess Google / Apple pay could never run on such a device. :(

- rini17 6y agoI don't understand. Do you want an open hardware platform only to install gigabytes of google/apple crud on? Why???
- remix2000 6y agoMoreover, neither will NFC U2F dongles! That thing alone already disqualifies the phone for me. Both PINE and Librem lack this and some other essential functionalities. If anyone ever manages to create a sufficiently modern free smartphone, I'm buying it right away. I think it might happen in China, as recent ban on Google Play may force Chinese companies to fight for customers disappointed with Apple's and Google's unethical policies. I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up one day and hear of China launching a fully operative postmarketOS variant of one of their flagship phones made exclusively for export to the West.
