I don't have the option of using a physical card. Neo banking in Canada is a bit of a joke.

The other drawback of GrapheneOS is the camera app has struggled immensely to keep up with stock Android.

I presume it is better now, but when I used GrapheneOS it was horrible. There was a time where you couldn't even take pictures.

It is a tough sell to get people to unlock the bootloader of your $1000 phone only for their phone to half work.

No card. That is extreme.

Regarding GrapheneOS camera, it's not awful, but it's not Google. So I use the Google camera app.

Our Camera app has HDR+ and Night mode but you do not have to use it.

There has certainly never been a release of GrapheneOS in the Stable or Beta channel where it wasn't possible to take pictures.

I should have been more clear. There was always camera functionality, but it was pretty dodgy back in the day, and would take absolute potato quality photos. I can't remember exactly what the issue was but there was a setting that would entirely prevent the camera from working, it isnt that is couldn't take photos.

By the time I stopped using GrapheneOS maybe 3 years ago or so the camera app was much improved and it is quite good.

GrapheneOS is an incredible project and I wasn't meaning to dump on it.
