Absolutely. You won't be able to use tap to pay, and the Google Wallet app doesn't open for me. Certain banking and finance apps might require some additional compatibility settings to be enabled. Otherwise it's been an extremely smooth experience for me.
Cool. Currently I try to use Mobile Pay for everything, but the privacy is more important for me. I'm on IOS right but I'm tired of Apple and hate Google's privacy policies. So I'll def get a refurbished Pixel and try out Graphene. Thanks!
