    My biggest concern is the life cycle of the device. I almost went with Motorola for my last phone, but saw that you were lucky to get 3 years of OS updates. Is that likely to be better on GrapheneOS? If so, that is a huge win imo. If not, it still isn’t ideal because I don’t want to have to buy a new phone every 2 years…

      GrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible. Not sure how affordable longer firmware support from Qualcomm is.

      Reading the original press release might be a good Start

      Their Thinkphones pretty much always had good update policy

      Almost like you cant really sell a 100€ device and expect it to be optimised like a mid range

      Why do you think they are $300-500? I don’t care about “only” 3 years of updates if i don’t have to spend $1300 on a friggin cellphone.

        Yea, except you aren’t getting security updates either… Basically anything connected to the internet should be getting security updates…
