    I solely need camera, contactless payments and projection for cars. If it is capable of these I am pre ordering.

    Contactless payment will not happen under grapheneOS, it relies on google play services and integrity check. Graphene does have sandboxed play services, but it doesn't pass integrity check.

    That's not true. Google Pay (or Wallet?) doesn't work on GrapheneOS. NFC and contactless payments work perfectly fine. You can use Curve Pay or in Poland BLIK via bank apps.

    Contactless payments does not need to be Google Pay. There are alternatives.

    What are those alternatives...?

    The most famous one is probably PayPal. But I assume for people who are privacy focused, that would be not the first choice.

    There is Curve Pay, but I know nothing about it besides the fact that it exists.

    Samsung Pay exists, but it only works on Samsung devices and therefore is not really an alternative in this case.

    And then there are some regional options. Here in Germany are same banks that offer their own payment apps, most famously the Sparkassen. I heard there are also some Indian and east Asian payment apps, but I don't know much about them.

    What are you using? It's the only google thing I haven't been able to terminate (and play services, for now)

    In a lot of European countries there are local payment apps that work as alternatives. Some banks even have payment support in their own apps.

    Check your local market for alternatives, though if your market is the US then there probably isn't any.

    That’s a deal breaker for me, I haven’t carried a physical card of any sort in years.

    Does GrapheneOS support Google Pay?

    It's the other way around. Google specifically blocks Goodlgle Pay being used on GrapheneOS. I believe there's another contactless payment app called Curve or something that works on GrapheneOS. Requires Google Play Services installed though.
