    Is there seriously a phone that supports GrapheneOS and has a replaceable battery? Graphene has a famously short list of supported devices.

      Graphene only supports devices that have the hardware necessary to utilize the security features Graphene devs implement. Right now, the Pixel phones are the only devices with said hardware that also allow third party signing keys to lock the bootloader.

        There is one non-google device and its the new flagship motorolla device thats releasing soon. I can guess its going to be ripped to shreads by iFixit’s score and its cost is too damn high (~1600$ IIRC).

        Ill just pray fairphone works with the graphene devs for the next device because (especially here) there is a demand for ethical, secure and repairable smart phones. Not something your going to get out of a tech giant and I worry motorolla isnt going to get that memo.

      Apparently not. Dammit. Well, there are other linux phone options that do offer replaceable batteries. I feel like that’s more important than the operating system.
